  We study broken symmetry states at integer Landau level fillings in
multivalley quantum Hall systems whose low energy dispersions are anisotropic.
When the Fermi surface of individual pockets lacks twofold rotational symmetry,
like in Bismuth (111) and in Sn$_{1-x}$Pb$_x$Se (001) surfaces, interactions
tend to drive the formation of quantum Hall ferroelectric states. We
demonstrate that the dipole moment in these states has an intimate relation to
the Fermi surface geometry of the parent metal. In quantum Hall nematic states,
like those arising in AlAs quantum wells, we demonstrate the existence of
unusually robust skyrmion quasiparticles.
