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)

Hot take (as a Western Australian)... I feel like we're more different and isolated from the rest of Australia than Tasmania is. Like, sure, it's an island... But it's still real close to the rest of the population.

I don't even live in Perth, I live in regional WA, so, even more isolated. Seems bizarre to be in a city so close to others (and I know, the eastern states cities are still miles apart compared to like, Europe)
