| What is New Hyperion? New Hyperion (NH) is a region of NationStates. It is an empire built on the principles of Hyperionism, our guiding philosophy. Great! How do I sign up? Hold on there, buddy, you haven't even registered yet! You'll have to scroll up (or just click here) and take care of that first. After that, take a look at those four forums at the top of the list. The Low Orbit Welcome Wagon is where you can apply for Plebeianship and introduce yourself. You can undergo Patricianship if you're interested in leadership. For everything else, go to Imperial Service. What if I'm a diplomat? Go to the Immigration Desk instead, and we'll get you masked. What's the government situation look like? Our region has three main levels of command: the Imperial Council, the Inquisition, and the Hyperion Senate. The Imperial Council (IC) consists of the Autarch, Chancellor, Lord Inquisitor, High Lords, and military command. It assembles when sensitive or secret decisions need to be made. Its members otherwise act separately as department heads and administrators. The Inquisition is the law enforcement of the region. Inquisitors ensure that all members are complying with any requirements currently set in place, and, along with the Lord of Development, also controls admission into the Patrician caste. The Judiciary, our courts system, also exists as part of the Inquisition. The Hyperion Senate consists of all our Patricians, and is the primary body of law and policy. The Senate operates somewhere between a democracy and a mob, and doesn't necessarily need hard votes to get things done. While the IC is technically superior to the Senate, it is more common for the Councillors to participate as Senators. As such, the Hyperion Senate tends to be the most important part of the entire government. Is that it? Of course not, that would be dry and boring. Granted, the Hyperion Senate is about as boring as a discussion on abortion, but you probably don't want to deal with its squabbles and silliness 24/7. That's why we have the Imperial Service and the military. The Imperial Service consists of the various departments, such as Foreign Affairs and Recruitment. All departments are volunteer-only, though enlistment and training in the Hyperian Guard is highly recommended for all members. In general, however, you will be encouraged to join under-staffed departments. Oh yeah, didn't your recruitment telegram mention an RP? Why yes it did! While we allow other RPs, of course, our main RP is the one that sets the standard of our theme and culture. It's kind of complex and involved, but once you get the ball rolling it's about as smooth sailing as any other RP. What if I need help? Pop us a question. Our patience is legendary. You may also check the Great Library of Trantor for answers to some of the more common questions. |

I'm starting this thread so that we can all brainstorm together. If we're going to make RP a selling-point, we actually need an RP that everyone can join. I actually liked PvC a lot because it was solely on Earth. Perhaps another one could be set in one province or city, after an apocalyptic event? |

I'd like to see resources other than building materials included. W don't need many types, but I'd like to at least see food of some variety on the list. It's a need for food that can doom a civilization; a bigger navy is no good if you starved to death while building it. (I really like using food as a resource to really make people think strategically about what new territory they want to acquire: annexing a sector with a couple billion inhabitants is not a good idea unless you can support them.) |

Not if your species doesn't mind a few billion collateral deaths in the name of progress... #stalin (Poor Ukraine... )

Ah, one of the many things one must consider while playing Supremacy 1914... But yes, food should be added to the building and energy resources. I'd go with stuff like grain, livestock, and fish. Any other ideas? |

I'd stay away from what might seem like the Earth "food" basics. Most alien species probably eat lots of different things, and have never heard of this "grain" or "fish." It'd probably just be easier to standardise it and label "FOODSTUFFS" or something really generic... |

Also we could somehow factor in education system and stuff... that's generally a big portion of national budgets (in developed countries) and really affects how a country operates. Sort of like a "average years spent in school" stat or something... |

Livestock isn't just Earth animals, so that can still be used. Ehh..... I think that would be a bit complicated to figure out for some people, and we want to welcome all RPers into this. Edited by Aragonn, Jan 29 2016, 06:05 AM.

Or you could actually Keep It Stupidly Simple and not have resources altogether. |

Wait a minute, doesn't KISS traditionally stand for Keep It Simple, Stupid, and not Keep It Stupidly Simple? |
