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?

Came here to say this. Bielefeld is obviously a government psy-op. It’s not a real city, much like the fake cities they used in the US for bomb tests.

Brazil has a lot of those. One of my favorites is the city of Itu, where supposedly everything is giant sized. Where a toilet is the size a pool and a snack is a full family barbecue.
It comes from a comedy show from the 60s where a character exaggerated everything from his hometown, but it caused the city to become famous for it and they even built some giant stuff there to attract tourists.

Florida. Because all arrest records and mugshots are pretty much immediately available to the public they get the most stories of dumb criminals in the media

Also, Florida is America’s wang.

I feel like there’s a joke there comparing semen to the stereotypical Floridian.

Molise, Italy, which is a whole region that doesn’t exists!

Here in the Netherlands I hear quite often that the province of Drenthe doesn’t exist. As someone who lives quite close to its presumed location I can neither confirm nor deny that it exists.
