No - the people in it are perfectly ordinary & normal, as much as one can be living in such isolation I suppose. There are only two ways to get there - by sea or by driving through a long, one-lane tunnel through the mountains.

Getting closer.

To avoid Sarah Palin?

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

Tunnel through a mountain seems a fair guess looking at the surrounding countryside. Most town halls here used to have a school attached, so is it a government building?

To avoid Sarah Palin?

No - although her existence could well be the cause of people living there.

Remember, there's not just a school under the roof...

It is a residence - and much more - but it's used all the time. The question is, by whom?

some sort of defence or communications team?

Nope - there's a bit of everything in it.

Nope - there's a bit of everything in it.

a commune?

 

[Bolton's Boots]

a commune?

You could say that, but it is something rather more unique - the only one of its kind in the world as far as I'm aware.

Looking at the picture, can you see any other buildings?

I would guess that it is a completely self contained town in itself.
