In terms of having the “marrying cousins” stereotype.

    Probably meaning backwards, highly conservative, people from there are seen as “hicks” or “red knecks,” have an abnormally high rate of incest and child marriage compared to the rest of the country, and any person part of a marginalized group would probably want to avoid.

      Drug addicts would be Porto. The city was pretty clean for decades but CoViD and an asshole of a city mayor effed things up, to the point they want to pass city ordnances that go against national law. Won’t fly; pure populism, good for sound bites.

      Hicks, incest and child marriage not really a thing here. Yet, we do have a strange saying about cousins that I can’t really translate. The gist implies cousins tend to be an understanable first opportunity to explore but not one to carry through as a true romantic relationship.

      Conservatives, all across the territory, mostly on rural areas but not hardcore. But we are a liberal nation as a whole.

      Lisbon is a bit under pressure because of high tourist influx but you don’t get to see violence towards non-nationals, except for rare events.

      This is a pretty interesting question.

      In that case the question should be about Louisianna or Mississippi. Alabama is a beautiful state. It’s a stark contrast driving the back country highways from one to the other.

        Hate to burst your bubbles, but Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana are all deep south states and all score the lowest in the nation in terms of standard of living and education.
