Is there any [group of people sharing a culture and geography] (country, nation, whatever word(s) you think fit best) who have never conquered anyone nor been conquered? Has there ever been?
My father worked for several years with the international arctic atmosperic sciences research program, spending a month at a time up on the ice each year. His home movies of the people up there clearly show a shared culture. I'd expect it is even more true of a group for researchers on a permanent base for 6 months at a time. But now that I look at the web sites for the bases, they are run by individual nations, which probably nixes the deal.
