The reasoning goes that the population there is so small that there really isn’t an ‘outside the family’.
North of France for, well, France.
Remote mountainous regions for Switzerland because besides fucking their cousins, they also lack oxygen with the high altitude.
Like in the movie "Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis" (Welcome to the Sticks)?
Yep those guys.
Too bad cause as you can see it in the movie they are actually really cool and friendly peoples.
People in Alabama are suuuuper friendly (outside the voting booth or inside their siblings)
For the Netherlands, Urk. Which I always thought sounds aptly like orc.
Or Volendam. They all look the same and have 1 of 5 surnames.
Alberta - I love me some mennonites, but they are really into 'keeping it in the family'.
-Source: Married a mennonite and absconded out of province with her.
Alberta is the Texas of the North, I think Sask is more Alabama / Arkansas.
Source: live in Sask 😢
If you want to go province by province, BC has Bountiful BC home of a bunch of fundie LDS members that marry and breed with their daughters.
Nothing more backwards and family fucking than the fundie LDS.
asked/answers from one month ago: Non Americans, what province is the "Alabama" of your country?
Thanks!! Gotta read it later on desktop, for some reason the link breaks the app I'm using
Doesn't open in Jerboa either, but I am able to copy paste it.
I'm using Jerboa, too and when I click the link, I can't open with Jerboa, but I can open it in a browser
Tasmania
I was gonna say Queensland. But Tassie actually does get the most Alabama type jokes.
Tasmania for incest, north Queensland for rednecks, NT for weird fucked up "Florida Man" antics.
Yeah I think you've got it right. But then what this suggests is the ridiculous idea that a very large proportion of the country is sucking on lead paint chips, fighting roos and fucking their sister. But we did have a vote recently that actually confirmed that, so... Maybe it's not ridiculous
I mean I'm just basing that off stereotypes. I've met some absolutely lovely north Queensland people, dated a Tasmanian for a while despite not being related, and I'm not completely convinced the NT even actually exists.
In Ireland, pretty much anyone who lives outside a major urban centre. We call them "culchies".
Same in the UK, lived in the Midlands and the people in the next village over we're "fennies" (because they lived in the fens). Cue jokes about webbed feet and incest
Girl, no. Our Alabama is most definitely Roscommon.
From a historical perspective Finland is essentially "Alabama: the country", and for example there's a bunch of rare genetic diseases that are much more common in people with Finnish heritage. Population has always been pretty sparse so it's not much of a surprise that people, err… "kept it in the family" so to speak – and it's not exactly uncommon even nowadays in some of the more rural areas (ie. pretty much the majority of the country 😅 )
well that explains everyone getting naked together and the folk heroes fucking their sisters and whatnot
To be fair, incest is like weirdly common in many myths; for example the gods of the Greek pantheon got up to some really freaky shit that makes the light sister-fucking in the Kalevala seem practically wholesome.
Interestingly the story of Kullervo's sister-fucking (which I think was accidental, but I'm too lazy to read the article to check) leading to terrible consequences was intended as a warning against the practice, because there was a heavy taboo on incest – and that's a bit hilarious considering the fact that that we were such prodigious sister/cousin/etc-fuckers for such a long time that our gene pool now has turds floating in it.
Those amateurs in Alabama doesn't have anything on us yet; we can reassess the situation once they have as many ridiculously rare hereditiary diseases as we do per capita.
alabama
Burgenland
The province of Manabí in Ecuador. Its even in books
In France that's north
Norwich
The webbed fingers are an evolutionary advantage for paddling in the broads
Take it with a pinch of salt like all regional stereotypes, but Norfolk, England tends to have this one in the UK (Norwich, which others have mentioned, is in Norfolk).
Saguenay (Lac Saint-Jean). In Québec,Canada. Very known for it's high cosanguinity.
Not quiet an alabama but an particular hindu community, who marry their uncles daughter(mom's brother). well none are in my sights of relatives though.
Queensland
- Limburg
- anywhere but Tokyo and Osaka?
Limburg??? Nog nooit van Urk gehoord?
Nog nooit van België gehoord?
Urk.
Why not Limburg?
This is probably super localised but Kinloch Rannoch in Perthshire, Scotland.
Skellefteå is the Alabama for Sweden, and most of Noway and Denmark too. However, for the whole Nordics, we have Iceland. The whole country of Iceland.
Apparently there’s a phone app that lets them know if they’re related or not.
Kerry
Sheppey...
They got webbed feet over there
New Hampshire/backwoods Maine.
New England does not consent to being considered a part of the same country as the Bible Belt/Florida.
Jokes aside, New Hampshire is known as "The South of the North" for its very..."conservative" political stances.
