Hi everybody, my girlfriend showed me a Tiktok about manga authors adding unnecessary incest plotlines to their works and I thought immediately “They are from Monterrey” (we are from Mexico).
I remembered that the States have a similar joke about Alabama and I started wondering if other countries also have a state or city associated with people who are, for some unknown reason, attrated to their cousins.
Here in Mexico there even is a kind of saying for these people «A la prima se le arrima».

Saarland in Germany, supposedly

Skellefteå is the Alabama for Sweden, and most of Noway and Denmark too. However, for the whole Nordics, we have Iceland. The whole country of Iceland.
Florida
Your position is that Florida is more Alabama than Alabama?
For the province of Québec I would say it’s Saguenay.
For the rest of the country, it would be Quebec
Neighbor right below you guys.
This is true. Yes, Qebec City and Montreal are world class cities. outside those cities it’s Le Kentucky
