Hill people

People from all over the world who live in the mountains. They have a variety of cultures but their geographic location creates several simularities. Living in such tough terrain, hill people tend to be difficult to conquer and tough as nails. Due to their difficulty to assimilate into larger societies as well as being separated from each other due to large mountains. Hill people tend to have less loyalty to large official nations and more to their small tribes and in hill regions, this isolation cam lead to very diverse cultures. Some hill peoples include people of Nepal, Zomia in Southeast Asia, Chechnia in Russia, much of central Asia, Switzerland, the Apalations in the US, Atlas mountains in Morroco, and even the Favelas in Rio. The hill lifestyle can lead to freedom from the oppression and competion of mainstream civilization, but many hill people's also tend to be very poor or trapped by the isolation.
