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».

      As an American who has lived in the Southern US and East Anglia, I feel like Norwich/Norfolk is more Mississippi and Suffolk is more Alabama. But I really don’t have anything to back that up other than Suffolk feels more rural. And Norfolk seemed more willfully ignorant. At least this was the case 20 years ago when I lived there.
