In terms of having the "marrying cousins" stereotype.

I've always heard that Alberta is the 'Texas of Canada' (presumably for the oil & being politically conservative). But since Canada only has 10 provinces, I guess that would mean each province needs to represent 5 different US states.

If Alabama and Texas are two of them, what are the other 3 for Alberta?

    This answer is very valid. I've grown up around a lot of Mormons.

    Iโ€™ve only been to Utah once, and it was like some creepy children-of-the-corn situation where everyone looked exactly the same. I left with the impression that everyone there is related. It was โ€ฆ disconcerting.

    Also, more importantly, cowboys and ranching. At least back when I was a young'un out in the sticks it was commonplace to see someone wearing a cowboy hat, and rodeos were one of the major events for many small towns. In fact, one of (if not) the largest public events in Alberta is the Calgary Stampede, which is rooted in and still features many rodeo and cowboy type activities.
