Default Re: people or peoples?

As far as I'm concerned People (n) is generally a plural word and it refers to a number of different concepts. BUT there IS an exception by which it could be used as a countable noun and that's when it refers to people who live in a particular area/place, country, etc. etc.

e.g. The local people(s) of my country. (either single or plural form is correct)
