In terms of having the “marrying cousins” stereotype.
Tasmania for Australia. At least they are on their own island.
England.
Tasmania
In Australia it’s Tasmania
What is Alabama?
The US incest state.
One of the incest states.
Correction… *THE incest state. When people talk about incest, at least one person is gonna think about Alabama.
Every other balkan country except the one i live in.
Shelbyville
Speaking only on the incest stereotype, Spanish Wells in the Bahamas. They’re known for strictly dating and marrying other fellow islanders, which at this point is basically one large family.
Edit to remove the double “at this point”
Wait, at which point?
This one, this one, this one.
Haha shoot I need to proofread!
South mountain in Nova Scotia, Canada. There was (still is?) a family (the Goler clan) famous for poverty, sexual abuse, and inbreeding. A bunch of them were arrested for sexual abuse in the 1980s. Rumor has it, they inspired the Xfiles episode “Home”.
People wanna say Alberta, but this is the real answer.
EVERY SINGLE ONE. Marrying cousins is more than common, its prrtty much standard.
India?
Mississippi
The south. It’s always the south.
The question is: does it flip after passing the equator or is the law universal for both halves of the globe?
Nah, in the UK it’s the midlands. Coventry, Birmingham, Leicester, and Loughborough can all go in the bin.
In Costa Rica its a subdivision of a province, San Carlos. Very famous for incest (not being taboo). In the costa rican subreddit there was a long thread about it not too long ago. The thread mostly contained anecdotal but has interesting comments; a doctor that sees lots of teenage pregnancy cases, a story of a priest that refused to continue marrying cousins in a small town.
Portuguese here. I don’t think we have that at all. I guess rural areas in general get that wrap a little bit but not really.
Portuguese immigrants in Canada from mainland Portugal say this about people from the Azores. I heard it a lot growing up.
Oh I’m Azorean so maybe that’s why I didn’t think of that… We’re not inbred!!!
My inlaws are from São Miguel. I can’t understand their accent, but that’s probably because my Portuguese is terrible and I can only understand my own family. I need to visit the Azores one day. They’re so pretty.
Rest assured, I’m from Lisbon and all family is as well. I never thought of any place in Portugal as “inbred” (other stereotypes apply to different regions though). Love the Azores, btw.
Sardinia is something between Alabama and Scotland (🐑)
You misspelt England.
