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».

    I dunno, Iceland’s right there with their dating apps that specifically make sure you aren’t related.

    Kinda necessary when your population is less than 400,000.

    Go back not that far, relatively, and everyone living there (who isn't a immigrant) is related in some capacity.

    Sweden and Denmark have a bit of a history, so I'm not sure what to believe: https://satwcomic.com/nordic-brothers
