What state, city is the Tlaxcala of your country? (lemmy.ml)

TL;DR: What state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?

I previously posted a question regarding the Alabama of other countries (apologies to those that did not enjoyed it). However, while reading the comments I discovered that Acre in Brazil doesn't exist and if it does it is filled with 🦕.

I immediately thought of Tlaxcala (Mexico), which is a hoax, "Tlaxcala son las papás" (parents are Tlaxcala). This is very likely related to the fact that is the smallest state by a far margin, you even need a 🔎 to find it.

So..., I wanted to know what state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?

Brazil has a lot of those. One of my favorites is the city of Itu, where supposedly everything is giant sized. Where a toilet is the size a pool and a snack is a full family barbecue.

It comes from a comedy show from the 60s where a character exaggerated everything from his hometown, but it caused the city to become famous for it and they even built some giant stuff there to attract tourists.
