TL;DR: What state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?

I previously posted a question regarding the Alabama of other countries (apologies to those that did not enjoyed it). However, while reading the comments I discovered that Acre in Brazil doesn’t exist and if it does it is filled with 🦕.

I immediately thought of Tlaxcala (Mexico), which is a hoax, “Tlaxcala son las papás” (parents are Tlaxcala). This is very likely related to the fact that is the smallest state by a far margin, you even need a 🔎 to find it.

So…, I wanted to know what state or city of your country gets the most satirical love / bullied?

    I’d say Delaware.

    They were the first state to sign the Constitution (barely, Pennsylvania was only a week later) and they’ve been kinda coasting on that ever since. The state only has about a million people total, whereas Philadelphia right next door has 1.5m just in the city proper. I-95, one of the busiest highways in America, cuts across the top and you can go across the state that way in 1/2 an hour. We usually have to remind ourselves that Wilmington exists when we think of the Northeast Corridor.

    And yet, due to a ton of unique state laws to make DE business friendly, this tiny-ass mostly-forgotten state is the corporate home of over 1.4 million corporations, including 2/3 of Fortune 500 companies. And the state has no sales tax, so most people only go there to buy booze and TVs.
