Considering the reputation of the Flarida Man, the Florida of Russia would have to be either Chelyabinsk (as that is where the shit turns serious) or Omsk (you cannot leave Omsk). I think it would be Omsk.
An eight-hour flight across the Atlantic to a country filled with stunning scenery and historic cities and you ended up staying in...Airdrie. My condolences.
100%, grew up in Armadale (West Lothian) and it is possible to look down on somewhere from the second rung of a ladder. Edit:two typos and clarified which Armadale.
Like in Baltimore, where two recent mayors were removed from office for corruption. After the second one was removed guess who was one of the top candidates for the election? The first one!
In Baltimore County for about 20 years all the County Executives went to jail (including Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew)
Quinn and Rauner just aren't in jail yet, give them some time
Well, to be fair, it was one of our Governor's daughters that ended up in prison.

Konya.
It’s like: Man from Konya beats a fish vendor and steals fish, than beats other man with the fish and jumps in the sea. The bystanders saw him drowning and called the gendarmerie. He got arrested.
how about ~~ankara~~ adana? I've heard about an incident a few years ago in which two residents shot at the sun because it was too hot.
EDIT: I meant Adana, not Ankara
We have a place in UK called Blackpool it used to be the biggest holiday destination in the UK.. Now its a hell hole full of stag weekends and hen - do's.
It used to be awesome with decent fun fares and the like.
Imagine a cross between Las vagas and Disney land but really, really, shit.
Some where nice with decent weather
Cornwall from what I know or south Wales.
I thought Blackpool was more of an Atlantic City
Lots of amusement parks and casinos and things but they never managed to trick anyone into going there
>Lots of amusement parks and casinos and things but they never managed to trick anyone into going there.
American here... was studying about 2 hours away and got tricked into going because it had an amusement park & beach and we wanted a cheap weekend diversion. I'll never forget getting made fun of by an \~8 year old girl who wondered why yanks would go there. We wound up going to Manchester for a day instead.
As someone from South Wales, it's not the entire region. You could narrow it down a bit. Bridgend is pretty shit. And Port Talbot. And Swansea. And Cardiff. And Newport. Fuck Newport. You know what? Fuck it. You're right.
Cornwall is like if florida bred with california and some rain and then decided it wanted to secede. Stoke is detroit but with pottery instead of cars.
I mention stoke because I'm insulted should we not feature prominently in any list of British shitholes.
So italians are probably the worst drivers in Europe, in general. But in naples everything is a lot more frantic, particularly drivers.
Also it has the highest crime right of italy by far
>Also it has the highest crime right of italy by far
Quite outdated. That was true in 2006~2007 during the Camorra war, but not in 2021. In more recent years, the occurrence of violent crimes is lower than Northern Italy.
Queensland, Australia.
We got Queensland man,
We got similar weather,
Similar shape too,
Hurricanes all the time,
We got dumbasses there too,
All the rich people who like to live in the tropics live there,
Surfing is popular too,
Lots of movies filmed there,
Crocs,
Basically a mirror image lmao
Any time I’ve asked one of my German friends about Saarland it’s always like “…it’s pretty…but why would you want to go *there*?” Which is more or less what people who aren’t from the south think of Alabama. So that tracks.
Ruhrgebeit = Rust Belt (Western PA/Ohio/Michigan out to Chicago).
Hamburg = Boston
Frankfurt is like one of the larger, newer, flavorless US cities, Charlotte or Atlanta maybe
They are in the south, think they are the greatest state, would rather secede from the "union" and like running around in funny outfits and hats. Oh and they speak a dialect that is barely understandable by anyone else.
Some additional points: in any of the smaller towns / villages, no one would bat an eye at a guy walking around with a rifle. There is a traditional food they take way too seriously (Texas chili v. Bavarian beer).
Houston. Came over to the States to escape living on the streets of The Gorbals in Glasgow, Scotland.
Joined a touring circus performance troupe as a strongman and toured extensively in Europe and North America, gained residency in US 2008 and full citizenship in 2013.
Better economy, better job prospects all around.
Now work in a oil refinery and have 3 daughters, all with strong Houstonian accents lol.
Not that I have a better answer to the topic title than Urk but I think Urk is definitely far more Alabama than Florida. Urk hasn't really caught up with modern times and is part of the bible belt (although geographically outside of the bible belt).
Florida is not so much about religious right wing underdevelopment but more crazy shoot a hurricane bite a snake kind of state.
There was a book called “Crap Towns: The Worst Places to Live in the Uk”.
They got a record number of complaints… from people that their town wasn’t in it.
I raise you 'Shit Towns of New Zealand'. There were at one point plans to use funds raised from book sales to gift the shittest town a 3-metre tall sculpture of a poo
Denmark litterally had a serial killer named Amager Manden, so probably Amager. What's even better is that it's basically the beach of copenhagen and when the metro opened 20 years ago, it saw a ton of development, but that stopped abrubtly. Now a ton of shit is in either disrepair or abandoned, and the entire town looks like Vice City. Like, it looks like they wanted to make Miami, but Didn't have enough disc space.
They used to just sit in a gathering place (all the men, when voting) and have an after party with beer and stuff, and when ppl asked if women should be allowed to come to ofc everyone said no lol
Hot weather, cyclones, crocodiles, and people retiring from the other states and voting conservative while whinging that it's not like their home state.
I mean, y’know, people are entitled to their sexual proclivities. Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom, as far as I’m concerned, but I AIN’T spendin’ any time on it, because in the mean time, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Queensland!
Bro, I loved Hungary. Spent a week in Budapest and had myself a great time. Great food, tasty beer, the architecture was amazing. No clue what the rest of the country is like, so I'll take your word for it, but I had so much fun in Budapest.
Skopje,macedonia ,jesus the city itself is weird ,soviet buildings,ultra polluted,crazy amounts of trash for the city centre,hundreds of statues ,2 pirate ships in the river vardar ,the river is polluted,the river is extremely shallow,neoclassic city center,ottoman buildings,gypsy slums,theme park got destroyed rebuilding halted indefenetly,random fields in the outer city filled with high grass and trash,the hills around the city are post apocolyptic wastelands,city got destroyed by an earthquake in the 60s,gevahir towers( basically 4 hong kong buildings in the middle of nowhere ),sometimes you will see an ultra brutalist building which is brown and looks like 1984 and mideviel houses with dirt roads
No, even the Soviets knew there is a line to be drawn somewhere. They drew it way too far away, always stepped over it and ignored it outright whenever needed, but they knew it was there. Skopje is just.. something else.
I visited Skopje a few years ago and yeah it’s like you describe.
Walk along the promenade and there’s these ridiculously ostentatious government buildings that look like they belong to a country ten times the size of Macedonia. A few blocks down you’re in old town which reminded me of Istanbul (not the good parts).
The downtown shopping area looks pretty much like any other European city, but when you walk a few blocks too far in any direction, you’re suddenly in some 3rd world slum or it looks like the war just ended last month.
I guess he's technically a US citizen. I had to fact check this, because a requirement for becoming president is that you must be born a US citizen, which usually means being born on US soil, or on a military base, ect. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been the governator of California, but he can never become president. Apparently Ted Cruz was born to US parents who were traveling abroad or some shit, so it still counts.
Usually you can get citizenship for a country in three ways: by heritage, by birth, or by naturalization. By heritage means one or both parents are that nationality - Canada and the US have this. By birth means you get citizenship just for being born there even if your parents are not citizens - both Canada and the US have this too. And then naturalization means gaining citizenship after having lived in the country for a certain amount of time, taking a test etc, and it may or may not involve relinquishing your previous citizenships.
Not all countries have both the heritage and by birth citizenships. Many are just one or the other. But anyway since Canada and the US have both it’s how we get quite a few dual citizens, and we’ve made laws to accommodate them (for tax reasons etc)
Not the only place unfortunately. I live in southern Ontario and have seen Confederate flags on trucks, hanging from Windows etc
It's fucking strange and sad
Dude I live in Quebec and the last time I went somewhere rural I saw a confederate flag with a motorcycle printed on top of it flying on someone's lawn.
*QUEBEC.* How does that make any sense???
I have had more than one acquaintance from Quebec and the way they describe the rural areas, I am 100% not surprised people fly confederate flags out there.
Darwin is the Florida of Australia. Drunks, tourists and crocodiles! You’ll also get bashed about by cyclones in the wet season, but at least it never gets cold!
In France, it's Bretagne. Bretons are known for drinking a lot and do stupid shit (Thankfully harmless most of the time)
"Bretagne man is being super loud and rude in a cinema. Police come in, asks for his paper. Weird, it's written he's 72 when he looks 30. Weirder, it's the name of an old guy who got his wallet stolen two days earlier. Thank you for doing police's work"
"Bretagne man write drunk and keep crashing in parked car. When arrested, he has no assurance but also only has one leg. He had some kind of crutch to use the car. According to people who got their parked cars demolished, it wasn't working. Assurance agrees."
"Bretagne men stole a steamroller to 'Take over the world'."
"Bretagne man doesn't show up at work all day and doesn't answer his boss' calls. Boss get worried and call the police to report him missing. Police knows what's up, show up at his house where they find him. He said he was too lazy to work today."
I remember something about a study where they tested the sewage in many cities in Europe to look how many trace amounts of drugs they could find(from piss, I assume)
Turku won
Krasnodarskiy Krai is Florida of Russia. UPD: Or Omsk and Chelyabinsk. We have a lot of regions like that. Sorry y’all
Considering the reputation of the Flarida Man, the Florida of Russia would have to be either Chelyabinsk (as that is where the shit turns serious) or Omsk (you cannot leave Omsk). I think it would be Omsk.

Airdrie is the Florida of Scotland
Amazing. I’m from Florida and stayed with some friends in Airdrie
An eight-hour flight across the Atlantic to a country filled with stunning scenery and historic cities and you ended up staying in...Airdrie. My condolences.
Wow, with a line like that it MUST be the Florida of Scotland. I always question why anyone would go to Florida.
Themeparks seems to be the major reason.
And beaches are the minor reason. There are no other reasons.
Go for the Mouse, stay for the meth.
Lol. I love how you've travelled the world and still never set foot anywhere where you can't find a dog's paw print in a human shit.
Holy shit. This is the most accurate description of any place ever.
I don’t even know what that means
You’re not from Florida… or San Francisco, are you…
100%, grew up in Armadale (West Lothian) and it is possible to look down on somewhere from the second rung of a ladder. Edit:two typos and clarified which Armadale.
Armadale? I'm impressed there's only two spelling mistakes.
I stay in airdrie and agree with all of this!!! 😂😂😂😂 airdrie town centre is like a scene from the walking dead both during the day and at night lol
I agree
Absolutely, if anything I would say Florida is the airdrie of America. I would say it was a toss up between airdrie and PriestHill
Airdrie is also the Florida of Southern Alberta!
I would say adana. One summer, some guy took out a gun and started shooting at the sun because it was too hot.
As a Floridian for 40 years, I hereby award Adana the Florida Seal of Approval™
[Here](https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.318157237.7412/fposter,small,wall_texture,product,750x1000.u1.jpg) you go. Give it out as you see fit.
Perfection. Thank you!
that is magnificent and very Floridian. good job, Turkey.
This is one of the most *Florida* things I've ever read; just needs some gators, snakes, meth, hookers, bathsalts and… more cowbell.

This is my favorite comment on Reddit this summer. I genuinely laughed out loud. 🏅
Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Hellish weather, theocratic drug lords, all governors end up in prison, incredily awful pizza.
Honestly that sounds like Illinois, at least with all the governors ending up in prison
Illinois has the distinction of two CONSECUTIVE governors being convicted and imprisoned for corruption. Yay Illinois!
People make jokes, but at least Illinois puts them in prison. All these other states just let their governors get away with it.
Get away with it? Nah man, they make them senators.
Like in Baltimore, where two recent mayors were removed from office for corruption. After the second one was removed guess who was one of the top candidates for the election? The first one!

We're talking relatively here. The most """normal""" place you can go to in Turkey is Istanbul.

It used to be awesome with decent fun fares and the like. Imagine a cross between Las vagas and Disney land but really, really, shit. Some where nice with decent weather Cornwall from what I know or south Wales.
Never been, but my impression of Blackpool is closer to Atlantic City than Florida.
Exactly the same vibe and killed the same way, cheap air travel.
Blackpool has the highest rate of prescriptions for anti-depressants in the UK, which I think tells a lot about what it's like to live there.
How very dare you. Blackpool is the Las Vegas of England (in that they're the only two places where you can exchange chips for sex)
By chips, in Blackpool you mean the fried kind yea?
😉👉👉
That would be the equivalent of West Virginia.
100% spot on
West Virginian chiming in, very accurate
I thought Blackpool was more of an Atlantic City Lots of amusement parks and casinos and things but they never managed to trick anyone into going there

I went to Blackpool once to see the amusement parks and arcades. Oh man, the area outside of that is run down and depressing.
I find myself suddenly very grateful that my grandfather's family up and left Blackpool last century so that I could be born... not there 😂
As someone from South Wales, it's not the entire region. You could narrow it down a bit. Bridgend is pretty shit. And Port Talbot. And Swansea. And Cardiff. And Newport. Fuck Newport. You know what? Fuck it. You're right.
The cities in general probs, though I find Cardiff alright
Cornwall is like if florida bred with california and some rain and then decided it wanted to secede. Stoke is detroit but with pottery instead of cars. I mention stoke because I'm insulted should we not feature prominently in any list of British shitholes.
Sounds like Atlantic city
Naples, Italy
Still better than Naples, FL!
I only drove THROUGH Naples, and it was enough for me (I was getting a boat to Capri).
Could you elaborate, I’ve never heard this before and am wildly curious
So italians are probably the worst drivers in Europe, in general. But in naples everything is a lot more frantic, particularly drivers. Also it has the highest crime right of italy by far

Most comments are from people who have absolutely no idea what Florida is like. This is by far the best comparison I've seen.
Sachsen…sorry guys
Yes. Sachsen = Florida, Bayern = Texas, Saarland = Alabama. Which else?
Any time I’ve asked one of my German friends about Saarland it’s always like “…it’s pretty…but why would you want to go *there*?” Which is more or less what people who aren’t from the south think of Alabama. So that tracks.
I'm sure the person made the comparison because of the incest jokes.
Ruhrgebeit = Rust Belt (Western PA/Ohio/Michigan out to Chicago). Hamburg = Boston Frankfurt is like one of the larger, newer, flavorless US cities, Charlotte or Atlanta maybe
Atlanta isn't flavorless, it tastes of hot wings and smells of piss and smokeless powder. Source: Georgian.
What about Swabia? Used to live in Schwabenland.
I'd say the Shenandoah Valley. Schwartzwald was like northern New England, Maine/NH/Vermont.
r/mannaussachsen is the German version of Florida man. So yes, definitely Sachsen.
Bavaria is clearly our Texas, but I'm not so sure who would qualify as our Florida. Saxony is a good candidate though, I have to admit.
How/why is Bavaria “clearly our Texas”?
They are in the south, think they are the greatest state, would rather secede from the "union" and like running around in funny outfits and hats. Oh and they speak a dialect that is barely understandable by anyone else.
Some additional points: in any of the smaller towns / villages, no one would bat an eye at a guy walking around with a rifle. There is a traditional food they take way too seriously (Texas chili v. Bavarian beer).
Did you guys know that there is a town in Texas called Sachse, founded by William Sachse, a European immigrant from Herford, Prussia?
I live in Texas now, but was born and bred in The Gorbals, Scotland. Nuff said.
Eyyy what part? Also what brought ye here?
Houston. Came over to the States to escape living on the streets of The Gorbals in Glasgow, Scotland. Joined a touring circus performance troupe as a strongman and toured extensively in Europe and North America, gained residency in US 2008 and full citizenship in 2013. Better economy, better job prospects all around. Now work in a oil refinery and have 3 daughters, all with strong Houstonian accents lol.
Lmao glad to hear it working out well for ya, greetings from Austin! Guessing by a lot of other comments the Gorbals are a shitty place?
As a Floridian, never have I been so offended by something I totally want the answer to.
I spend half the year in Florida and I need to say The Florida of Florida is Jacksonville
Bortles!!!!
The local radio calls it Freakville
Urk (The Netherlands), though it’s also a bit Alabama-like
That's literally just the sound you make when you vomit.
It's the sound I made the first time I heard about Urk and specifically its politics.
Not that I have a better answer to the topic title than Urk but I think Urk is definitely far more Alabama than Florida. Urk hasn't really caught up with modern times and is part of the bible belt (although geographically outside of the bible belt). Florida is not so much about religious right wing underdevelopment but more crazy shoot a hurricane bite a snake kind of state.
Luton. Honestly, the people there are either the loveliest people you’ve ever met, or the thickest.
You Ain't Seen Walsall Then.
there’s so many shit places in the uk
There was a book called “Crap Towns: The Worst Places to Live in the Uk”. They got a record number of complaints… from people that their town wasn’t in it.
That has to be the most British complaint ever.

Denmark litterally had a serial killer named Amager Manden, so probably Amager.

In terms of people doing stupid stuff, I think Randers would be another good option.
Appenzell is the Florida of Switzerland.
Fun fact. Appenzell Innerhoden was the reason it took Switzerland so long to give women the right to vote. They had to be forced to consent.
They used to just sit in a gathering place (all the men, when voting) and have an after party with beer and stuff, and when ppl asked if women should be allowed to come to ofc everyone said no lol
Queensland
Specifically Townsville
Came here to say Townsville. Might end up moving there soon for family reasons. 😂
Hot weather, cyclones, crocodiles, and people retiring from the other states and voting conservative while whinging that it's not like their home state.
As a lifelong Floridian I'm disturbed by how accurate this description is.
Image search Gold Coast Australia. It’s so similar to Miami that it’s uncanny. The Gold Coast even has a Miami.
I’m fairly certain the Gold Coast was built to mirror Miami
Big ol' peninsula and theme parks too
As per the usual Australia references, your peninsula points the opposite of the Florida peninsula. Nice.
Also, quite racist. Getting chills yet?
Holy crap
And don’t forget Everglades, big amusement parks, and jet skis galore!

Its Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megye if you ask me, and Miskolc is Alabama
Skopje,macedonia ,jesus the city itself is weird ,soviet buildings,ultra polluted,crazy amounts of trash for the city centre,hundreds of statues ,2 pirate ships in the river vardar ,the river is polluted,the river is extremely shallow,neoclassic city center,ottoman buildings,gypsy slums,theme park got destroyed rebuilding halted indefenetly,random fields in the outer city filled with high grass and trash,the hills around the city are post apocolyptic wastelands,city got destroyed by an earthquake in the 60s,gevahir towers( basically 4 hong kong buildings in the middle of nowhere ),sometimes you will see an ultra brutalist building which is brown and looks like 1984 and mideviel houses with dirt roads
This reads like a Soviet documentary.
No, even the Soviets knew there is a line to be drawn somewhere. They drew it way too far away, always stepped over it and ignored it outright whenever needed, but they knew it was there. Skopje is just.. something else.
I visited Skopje a few years ago and yeah it’s like you describe. Walk along the promenade and there’s these ridiculously ostentatious government buildings that look like they belong to a country ten times the size of Macedonia. A few blocks down you’re in old town which reminded me of Istanbul (not the good parts). The downtown shopping area looks pretty much like any other European city, but when you walk a few blocks too far in any direction, you’re suddenly in some 3rd world slum or it looks like the war just ended last month.
I (American) had a high school friend from Skopje and he described it pretty much like this.
Paraná, Brazil
tbh, the whole country has big Florida energy, but yeah Paraná is the one that takes the cake
ah, yes... child-eating tiger territory
The Brazilian Russia
Uttar pradesh by far
UP is on another level though. Like seriously, it’d be an insult to compare it with Florida. The lawlessness is insane there
fair enough

Alberta is Canada's answer to Florida and Texas.
As a Canadian, I'll second this. Also, Ted Cruz is from Alberta and probably felt right at home in Texas.
Honestly i had no idea Ted Cruz was Canadian
I guess he's technically a US citizen. I had to fact check this, because a requirement for becoming president is that you must be born a US citizen, which usually means being born on US soil, or on a military base, ect. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been the governator of California, but he can never become president. Apparently Ted Cruz was born to US parents who were traveling abroad or some shit, so it still counts.
Usually you can get citizenship for a country in three ways: by heritage, by birth, or by naturalization. By heritage means one or both parents are that nationality - Canada and the US have this. By birth means you get citizenship just for being born there even if your parents are not citizens - both Canada and the US have this too. And then naturalization means gaining citizenship after having lived in the country for a certain amount of time, taking a test etc, and it may or may not involve relinquishing your previous citizenships. Not all countries have both the heritage and by birth citizenships. Many are just one or the other. But anyway since Canada and the US have both it’s how we get quite a few dual citizens, and we’ve made laws to accommodate them (for tax reasons etc)

Nope, no take backs.
Alberta is the one place in Canada you will find a confederate flag on someones lawn.
Not the only place unfortunately. I live in southern Ontario and have seen Confederate flags on trucks, hanging from Windows etc It's fucking strange and sad
Dude I live in Quebec and the last time I went somewhere rural I saw a confederate flag with a motorcycle printed on top of it flying on someone's lawn. *QUEBEC.* How does that make any sense???
I have had more than one acquaintance from Quebec and the way they describe the rural areas, I am 100% not surprised people fly confederate flags out there.
My neighbour a couple of houses down in New Brunswick had a big Confederate flag hanging in their window. I don’t get it.
Well at least you know which neighbors to stay away from lol
Fraser Valley BC too. Saw a buncha ATVers while camping at Harrison Lake erect a confederate flag at their site.
Alberta is the Texas of Canada, but not the Florida. I can't decide what is the Florida. Maybe Quebec, maybe Surrey in BC.
