Typical region names the part of the world where a kind of social group is most commonly found. Wikipedia describes examples ranging "from the mammoth steppe hunters in Siberia to the semi-sedentary Eskaleut fishermen/seal hunters of the Arctic," showing how widely one social group type can spread across very different regions. This dimension groups societies rooted in the same region.
