In terms of having the “marrying cousins” stereotype.

-11 points

Lived in AL for many years. Never met a single person married to their cousin, never heard anyone mention cousins getting married. Stupid stereotype.

Common law married still counts. You aren’t getting off on a technicality this time.

In Denmark the closest we come to the “marrying cousins” stereotype would be southern Jutland although that trope can be used about all rural areas.

As for being backwards and reactionary, rural Jutland is the place to go.

As for rural poverty and hopelessness an area stretching from northern, western and southern Jutland, over southern Funen to the islands of Lolland and Falster is known as “the rotten banana”. Rural poverty is worst on the northern Jutland island of Mors and the island of Lolland.
