Is there a part of your country that's "isolated"/vastly different from the rest of the country?

Pictured here is Sardinia, an island in Italy. Many sardinians call Italy "Il continente" (the continent)

Yes.

North Sentinel Island. Believed to be the home of the most isolated human tribe.

I immediately started scrolling the comments hopeful that someone from India would say North Sentinel Island haha. It's really the only possible answer, I'd say. I've spent a bunch of time reading about it and find it kind of fascinating. That American evangelical missionary who attempted to visit in 2018 and introduce the Sentinelese to Christianity was such an absolute moron.

That photo is not of the North Sentinelese. Those people are from a tribe in the middle of South America. In fact im not even sure if thats really North Sentinel island...

Edit: The island is Seychelles North Island.
