Southern District

The Southern District (Hurmu Norse: Syndra omraaðeð) is the southern-most district of Hurmu, located immediately south of the Lake District on the continent of Lyrica. It is not a traditional district of Hurmu (such as Lontinien or the Lake District), but was established in 1690 AN to house persons of Storish descent who were unwilling or incapable of conform to the Hurmu nationality law. In the Southern District, such people, known informally as "Southerners", have considerable autonomy over their own affairs. For an interim period, the Southern District is governed under martial law, in order to stamp out all rebellious groups in the area and bring about peace, order and good government there.

In recognition of the Southern District's unique character, it is outside Hurmu's customs area (i.e. it has its own customs area), and has its own visa regulation regime. Border and customs controls exist along the roads, railways, and airports into the Southern District. Special travel documents are issued to the residents of the Southern District who have not become citizens of Hurmu.
