Does your country have a hierarchy of attitude of superiority? Note, this hierarchy is not the actual “best to worst” but the perceived “best to worst” as portrayed by public image, media, stereotypes, and general perception.
Here is the perceived hierarchy of superiority for America by region. The general sentiment is that people on the top are better, more educated, wealthier, more cultured, and more important than those further down.
Cities or States that are listed separately have a distinct or unique image around them that makes them separate from their geographical or historic cultural region.
