Austria

In Austria there's not really that much a rivalry between some states... Styrians don't like people from Carinthia that much, and we in Tirol are not the biggest fans of from Vorarlberg...
It's more like that you have some general stereotypes about states:
- People in Vorarlberg are considered, Idk, a bit "excluded" from the rest of Austria, so like different from us all,  as they are more oriented towards Switzerland, and they speek a completely different and strange (and ugly) dialect
- We in Tirol are usually seen as the guys that would sell their souls if then just three more tourists were to come to our hotels Tongue also, people mock our dialect by adding a "k" to anything (we do pronounce the k in a very strange way)
- Salzburg, well, there is not really much to be said about it, they just seem like your typical mixture of what is Austria, nothing that special what we'd say about Salzburgians
- Carinthians are often seen as a bit dumb (their dialect does really sound completely dumb, though Tongue), and in a way already like Slovenians, no "true Austrians" anymore
- Styrians are overly traditional and proud of their old heritage, wear folklore clothing all the time, and "bark" when they speak
- People in the Burgenland are also probably all Hungarians or Croatians or Roma or whatever, just not true Austrians... Also popular in Vienna are jokes about them, they're considered just as dumb as Carinthians
- Viennese are arrogant, snobby, just like people living in cities are viewed from people in the country
- Lower Austria and Upper Austria also both don't have any uniqueness, they are just like Vienna just not in the city, but in the countryside
