The Headpeacekeeper is many things to many people. To his Peacekeepers, he is a leader and a patriarch. To the population of his district, he is a judge. To the lawless scum and criminals of a district population, he is a menace and an enemy. This is the way it should be.

Being a Headpeacekeeper is a great responsibility, whether in charge of a District, a Fortress, or a Legion. This responsibility also comes with great danger.

At the start of the Forth Fatherland War, Panem had thirty Headpeacekeepers. By the end of the war, over forty nine Headpeacekeepers gave their lives in the line of duty including all but three of the original District Headpeacekeepers. Even discounting war, the Headpeacekeepers of Panem still have to stay vigilant lest he should fall victim to assassination or fragging.

This is under normal circumstances.

Sometimes, a Headpeacekeeper will find himself stationed in a District which has fallen into chaos and squalor as a result of corruption or neglect on the part of the previous Headpeacekeeper.

It is absolutely necessary for you, as the new Headpeacekeeper in this situation, to restore order and to reverse the mismanagement which has lasted for years or even decades. Damage Control should be the start, but it is important to not only remedy the situation but to also solve it. Often an unruly district will be subjugated as though it were a conquered territory.

It is important to restore the district to a productive and civilized state as fast as possibles, as the unavoidable transition period is painful for the inhabitants of the District and thus it is better to get it over with in a timely manner. However, it is also important to so with caution, as a single wrong move could send the district spiraling into riot and even rebellion.

My name is Romulus Thread. In my military career I fought in the Forth Fatherland War and rose to the rank of Headpeacekeeper Of The Armies shortly before my retirement, but I also served as Headpeacekeeper in almost every District at one time or another. Being a Headpeacekeeper during times of peace, like being a wartime Headpeacekeeper, has its own demands. I know everything there is to know on how to subjugate an unruly district, but I know I am not immortal. This manual will cover the steps and precautions needed to successfully bring a district back under Capitol Rule.
