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?

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.

Drenthe is the liminal space through which the A28 and a railway line connect Groningen to the rest of the country.

I was about to add the A7 to that list, but that one manages to avoid Drenthe. Apparently at exit 34a, the south end of the right of way is the provincial border, with the southern parallel road in Drenthe, and everything else in Groningen.
