No. Other than mentioned in the novel that there are serveral villages in Japan like the one in the anime. They are not totally isolated from each other, but it seems that they don't see each other very often.

Spoiler:

So these villages are self-regulated? Is the technological society we learned about in episode 4 of the anime still behind them, or was it replaced by the way of living in the villages completely?
