Why are there only country communities in the 'Communities' category?

There was recently the idea for a hiking/outdoor community and in that discussion I learned there is way to “make your own communities”:

I know we’re offtopic now: I don’t think such communities (with the need of moderators too) are needed. You can create these on the fly by editing your preferences and select the tags you’re interested in. [preferences] You can then select one of the tags in your sidebar and get the list of topics with the selected tag: [hiking-list]

So try to use meaningful tags.

I get why some people still like a “my-interest” community but too much communities is not good I think so I would set as minimum requirement that the “my-interest” tag is already quite some time active.
