I.e. your city / town / county / state, etc.
E.g. I'm from Liverpool, England. Liverpudlians or "Scousers" have the stereotype of thieves because of the slums that existed before the regeneration -- despite now being one of the safest cities in the U.K.

I live in Ireland, we drink a lot and eat nothing but shpuds.
Ask anyone what a common Irishman is and he'll say a shpud eating drunk.
And a leprechaun..
