Isolationist

Social structure maintaining a hermetic, hidden society, driven by deep xenophobia or the protective preservation of volatile assets.

The mystery of a hidden society, the tension of forbidden contact, and the exploration of deep-seated xenophobia. It's the feeling of being on the edge of the unknown, where the outside world is a threat and the inside world is a secret.
