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».

Alabama

Also, incest isn't limited to Alabama. Also applies to Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Don't really know how it got started but this seems to include all the places that can have some hardcore hillbillies.
