Podlasie in Poland, definitely. My friend's parents have both the same maiden name despite not being closely related. Their whole village has basically the same surname.

The south. It's always the south.
The question is: does it flip after passing the equator or is the law universal for both halves of the globe?

Costa Rica: Not exactly a province per se, but the canton of San Carlos
West Vlaanderen. They even talk like they have a hot potato in their mouth!

The fact we have an idiom "sent to Coventry" meaning to deliberately ostracise someone should tell you all you need to know.
I went to uni in that city; there isn't enough money in all the world to make me go back there. City of 300k people with over 3k homeless. Utter monstrosity of brutalist architecture (the university library is based on a panopticon prison, I kid you not). And the ring road! Taking your life in your hand just merging into it!
Absolutely insane amount of crime, with one of the highest rates of child sexual abuse in the country (for context, it's crime index is about 20% higher than London's). And I've never seen so many street walkers in my life! Plus they charge, I am not joking, £20 a go.

In Costa Rica its a subdivision of a province, San Carlos. Very famous for incest (not being taboo). In the costa rican subreddit there was a long thread about it not too long ago. The thread mostly contained anecdotal but has interesting comments; a doctor that sees lots of teenage pregnancy cases, a story of a priest that refused to continue marrying cousins in a small town.

I don't know. There is multiple possibilities here. Maybe Appenzell Innerrhoden where you're at a low degree cousin of one of the members of the council at the head of the Canton. AI has just 16k inhabitants.
But if you ask a French speaker, it will be Jura. It remember me once I went there. I saw a young woman not older than 25. She was definitely not rich. She already had 3 pregnancies and was outside in a cold foggy morning with the 3 kids walking around the small town. The region has the reputation of alcoholism too.
