Alabama is the Alabama of my country
Take it with a pinch of salt like all regional stereotypes, but Norfolk, England tends to have this one in the UK (Norwich, which others have mentioned, is in Norfolk).
This is probably super localised but Kinloch Rannoch in Perthshire, Scotland.

Southern Jutland for the redneck backwardness and incest/zoophilia, the island of Lolland for the rural poverty and hopelessness.
Birmingham
Saskatchewan.
Saguenay (Lac Saint-Jean). In Québec,Canada. Very known for it's high cosanguinity.
For the province of Québec I would say it's Saguenay.
Skellefteå in Sweden.
Not quiet an alabama but an particular hindu community, who marry their uncles daughter(mom's brother). well none are in my sights of relatives though.
Skellefteå is the Alabama for Sweden, and most of Noway and Denmark too. However, for the whole Nordics, we have Iceland. The whole country of Iceland.
Apparently there’s a phone app that lets them know if they’re related or not.
Nord pas de Calais for France
as someone in the united states, this "alabama is the backwards hick place for dumb yokels" thing is pretty annoying and classist.
What's your go to, Mississippi?
Kentucky, personally. Incest ran so deep it turned that one family blue. The fugates IIRC.
