Germans are sometimes subdivided into "swamp Germans" (Dutch) and "mountain Germans" (Swiss and Austrians).

Scots too ("highlands" and "lowlands")

In Slovenia we also have regions of Gorenjska and Dolenjska

I have it DL'd, still waiting for gf to watch it with

Don't watch with gf unless you already know her well. It might freak her out. There are also some disgusting/disturbing scenes that probably mean no sex after watching.

 

You can watch it alone, though. It's broken down into episodes, so you don't have to commit to full 90 minutes or whatever. You can watch 5 minutes of the first story and then pause. There is no connection. It's basically 12 short stories or something.

My relatives are the forest people of Volga and Kama. Not even drop of slav blood. Rate.

What are they like?

They kill goats and bury them behind the barn for some reason. No one can explain why.

Also there is a ritual of becoming shitfaced by consuming hot moonshine

I'm looking for weird gf so that's not regularly applicable

Germans also do some things for no good reason and the explanation is: "We have always done it this way." For example using fax machines in 2022.

West Virginia and Cajun land (I'm American)

How about these guys from the village Gorjani
