What is the Alabama of your country? (lemmy.ml)

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».

Your position is that Florida is more Alabama than Alabama?

They're certainly trying to out Alabama Alabama, at least.

Florida’s Sunshine Laws just make their trash public. I shudder to think what happens in Alabama without our knowledge. 😬😬😬

I know it doesn’t make sense, but can’t blame the guy, he probably went to school in Florida
