South mountain in Nova Scotia, Canada. There was (still is?) a family (the Goler clan) famous for poverty, sexual abuse, and inbreeding. A bunch of them were arrested for sexual abuse in the 1980s. Rumor has it, they inspired the Xfiles episode "Home".

People wanna say Alberta, but this is the real answer.

Yeah, there's a lot of drunk oil hicks here, but I haven't seen much inbreeding. Though the last time I attended an event in Rumsey I couldn't help but wonder.
