Geography often shapes culture.
In most of the Indonesian island of Java, incredible fertility has long produced the bounteous harvests of a happy people, when they get their fair share.
But the fruitful plains are always overshadowed by magnificent hills and mountains some of which are active volcanoes.
Both the island and the people are able to erupt.
Australia can be defined by being mostly desert. (70% is arid or semi-arid.)
What about America?
How many culturally significant geographies are there?
