Hurmu is a Shirerithian territory located in two different areas of Micras: the Lake District of Hurmu in northern Lyrica, bordering Stormark, and Lontinien, bordering Gralus, along the River Glacei and the Gulf of Ghawlama. The capital of Hurmu is Huyenkula.

1. History
Daniel Llai, then known as Ric Lyon, had for some years been working on a language called Hurmumol when he saw a thread on micronational languages on MNO. Although today the thread itself is lost, memory tells us that Daniel translated songs and works of religious character which he posted in the thread. At this point, the language itself was not intended to be micronational; Daniel did then not belong to any nation at all. He was merely a lurker.
A few months later, Daniel and his real-life friend Josh began looking at micronations. This was after Daniel's try-out in Lykosha, Puritania, the united Menelmacar and Babkha, both Daniel and Josh felt that micronations, although seemingly fun, needed some intrigue and stir. They established Hurmu Republik as a joke nation, not intending it to last long. Claiming land on the Lyrican continent, they based the city names of Hurmu on nonsense sounds with only two places having definite etymologies: the city of Tjotahiti and the capital Lyrica City. Tjotahiti comes from the Swedish expression fara Tjotahejti ("to travel to end of the world", lit. "to travel as far as to Tahiti") and Lyrica City was the ruins of the former capital city of the Lyrican Republic, a nation that Hurmu later did not go even with.
While Daniel, having taken the Hurmu/Icelandic name of Hallgrím Aðalgeirsson, went on a Micras-wide tour, posting nonsensical posts here and there with poor grammar but with a joyful sentiment, Josh established the first homepage of Hurmu.
