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».

      Unnrealated Anatolian fun fact time. The world’s oldest known peace treaty between the Hittites and Egyptians originates from Anatolia.

        Where’s the NEWEST peace treaty between the Hittites and Egyptians from, though? I’m guessing Birmingham.
