The greatest rivalry where I live is between the Red Sox and the Yankees. The Red Sox are evil! Go Yankees!

The Rangers are evil too! Go Islanders!

Well, Muscovites think that people who live in St. Petersburg are snobs who think they are more cultured, that they use wrong words to refer to the most mundane things and that they hate Muscovites.
People who live in St Petersburg think that Muscovites are rich snobs who have no culture at all, talk funny and hate any non-Muscovite.
Other Russians think that Muscovites are rich ***holes who go crazy because they have too much of everything when the common folk needs this money.
Also, Muscovites eye people from the Moscow oblast with suspicion, because they think they'll steal their jobs.
People from the Moscow oblast hate Muscovites because the latter don't have to pay exhorbitant rent to live in Moscow.
And all of them don't like Chechens and other suchlike southerners. Russians who live in Omsk are teh best, though

In the UK, Junction 18 of the M1 Northbound is where civilisation, polite conversation and intelligence ends, and barbarism, poor architecture, gun crime and ridiculous accents begins. I'm off out now, but I will later deconstruct this divisive attack on the north of England. I'm speaking as a southerner, too.

Then again, it's probably just a troll.

In Croatia:

Some of the usual (for Europe) stereotypes and rivalries apply.

Capital city is thought to be "collecting" tax money from the regions and not returning most of it.

East and south are poorer than north and west, thus the latter think they are working more than the former and that the former are lazy.

The southerners are considered more temperamental than northeners. Also more easy going in their approach to business. Northeners are more orderly and drink more heavily.

There is also an old football rivalry between Zagreb and Split (capital and the second largest city).

Except for the footbal one, these rivalries and stereotypes aren't much present in everyday life.

Relax, Russia is still here, as far as I can see from my window

[gkruCRi1]

Yep.

[OgrGlgHu]

Gosh, lots of regional rivalries here.

There's the west (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba) and Ontario. Then there's Quebec and the Maritimes. I would say there are 5 distinct regions if you count BC as it's own, since it's very different from the other western provinces.

Ontario has the capital region, and the center of the country. Most of the industries are based here in a narrow strip from Windsor to Ottawa. The rest of the province like most of Canada is sparsely populated. The West and Quebec see themselves as hard done by Ontario, and they feel that they are the centre of the universe and that everything revolves around them. There's a rivalry between different parts of BC, the north and the south, the south has the biggest cities, while the north is very rural. Again, the north feels left out of the decisions while the city feels that there's nothing important outside of them.

With our sports teams there are old rivalries between the hockey and football teams, most of the major cities have either a hockey or a football team, and some have both.

Those aren't stereotypes, they're simply true, right? How dare you?
We Muscovites are very cultured, tolerant and generous. All other stereotypes are completely true, though.
