Hurmu Peace Corps
The Hurmu Peace Corps is the branch of the Hurmu government tasked with protecting the peace of the people and state of Hurmu. The Hurmu Peace Corps was established in 1694 through a constitutional amendment after it was found that the Hurmu Constabulary, being Hurmu's police force, was not legally sanctioned to provide for the protection of the peace in a more preventive manner.
The Hurmu Peace Corps thus works with preventing breaches of peace of Hurmu and the state of Hurmu. It does so through gathering such information as necessary, under the law, to provide for the peace of the people and the state. It also organises volunteers from all over the world to aid in providing for the peace of the people and the state of Hurmu. However, the Hurmu Peace Corps is also authorised under the constitution to defend the peace of Hurmu's people and state through armed means. Further more, the Hurmu Peace Corps may, on the order of the Senate (the collective head of the Hurmu Peace Corps), be deployed abroad or to the Green if it is the interests of the peace of the people and state of Hurmu or necessary to uphold the peace in a territory ravished by war, calamity or natural disaster.
Those who have pledged their service to the Hurmu Peace Corps are collectively known as peacekeepers.
Organisation
The Hurmu Peace Corps is headed by Chief Commissioner of the Peace Corps, who answers directly to the Senate. In practice, most communication goes through the Senate's national security committee. Where the Constabulary answers to the Hurmu Executive (and thus the Assembly), the Peace Corps answers to the Senate. Both Senate and Assembly are involved in budgetting and legislating for both corps.
The Hurmu Peace Corps is divided into four departments:
- Sea Department
- Land Department
- Air Department
- Psychology Department
Ranks
Regardless of department of service, all peacekeepers have the same structure of ranks.
