The Hurmu Fyrð is the branch of the Hurmu government tasked with the defence of the Order of the Holy Lakes and the subject realms brought together through voluntary association under the banner of Hurmu.

History

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 was thus tasked with preventing breaches of peace of Hurmu and the state of Hurmu. It did so through gathering such information as necessary, under the law, to provide for the peace of the people and the state. It also organised 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 was also authorised under the constitution to defend the peace of Hurmu's people and state through armed means. Further more, the Hurmu Peace Corps could, on the order of the Senate (the collective head of the Hurmu Peace Corps), be deployed abroad or to the Green if it was in 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.

Due to being established only in 1694 by an Act of Parlerment, there was an initial lack of officers and enlisted members in the HPC. As such, the Parlerment also provided for accepting commissions and enlistments from other countries with which Hurmu has treaty relations as equivalent for the rank at hand in the Hurmu Peace Corps, provided the individual applied for provisional Hurmu nationality. Such provisional nationality allowed for the family of the peacekeeper to settle in Hurmu (i.e. the peacekeeper acts as sponsor for his family). Hurmu nationality would be then granted upon the foreigner peacekeeper (and those he or she sponsored) upon honourable discharge or ten years' service, whichever came sooner. Exceptions occurred if the peacekeeper, or a person whom he or she sponsored, had been found guilty of an offence of which a custodial sentence was indicated in the criminal code).

Following the conclusion of the 1719–1720 Hurmu civil conflict, where the force tasked with peace maintenance was found to be wholly inadequate in the face of a democratic rebellion, was reorganised into the Hurmu Fyrð. The new force is organised in compliance with the Charter for the Order of the Holy Lakes and the Senate Regulations on the Defence of the Realms in Right of the Order, 1720.
