Hurmu's Lake District is divided into three provinces: Old Hurmu, Borgarthing and Frostathing. However these provinces are merely traditional and cultural; they do not serve any administrative purpose.
Each coloured area corresponds to populated regions. Even though the heads of the regions are known as huvðingar ("chiefs"), they are not tribal areas.
Traditionally Hurmu people belonged to tribes. But over the years, intermingling between people of different tribes have made the system of tribes redundant. So the regions are a modern form of tribal areas, but people of various origins live there peacefully.
Seeing that Hurmu is a sparsely populated country with much wildlife and nature, the white-coloured territory is unorganized and few people actually live in unorganized territory. An exception is the Band of Ísam, living along the upper shores of the Cashma.
