Second, regions are not monoliths, but are themselves internally divided along geographical or other lines – sometimes deeply so. Quite apart from possibly having a complex ethnic composition, significant regional fault-lines may be present: in Scotland between the industrialized, urbanized, more anglicized Lowlands and the more agrarian, rural, residually Gaelic Highlands, or in the Basque Country between the strongholds of Basque culture in the industrial North and the more agrarian southern province of Álava, where the Basque language is much weaker. Such differences, too, can have significant political implications.
