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».

For the province of Québec I would say it's Saguenay.

Neighbor right below you guys.

People are disagreeing with you, but as somebody from one of the most liberal states in the US, Massachusetts, it's very much the same thing here - the cities are as progressive as it gets, but you don't have to drive too far before you start seeing the Trump flags and Bible thumpers in their lifted pickups. It's very easy to fall into that lifestyle if you've never been more than 50 kilometers from the house you were born in and never seen somebody with a different skin color from yours. And it doesn't matter if that house is among fields, forests, or coastline.

Mmmm IDK... Have you ever visit the province? Gatineau is 300k+ souls, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Chicoutimi are now all over 100k, with about a half-dozen more cities with 70k+ population. Not exactly only field and forests. Kentucky as like 2 cities with more then 100k. It's actually quite a populated province, 2nd in Canada.
