I feel like those "Alpsy" bastards would be there at 2:55.
- Like Germans
  
  Fünf Minuten vor der Zeit
  Ist des Deutschen Pünktlichkeit

- Early is on time, and on time is late
  
  This is the way
  
  Source: I am from the Alps
Have a Sicilian family. Can confirm.
- don't ask if it's a mafia family don't ask if it's a mafia family don't ask if it's a mafia family
  
  Is it a mafia family?
  
  Oooh, one might say my family is into import and one might say my family is into export
  
  But no. We're not family, sorry.
What's the small region of 3:05 supposed to represent?
- Hard to tell exactly but maybe Milan over to Verona and down to Bologna?
  
  Bologna is down in Emilia Romagna, in the 3.20. I live in the region. Can confirm, it's pretty accurate
- Veneto/Lombardia: aka Verona, Milan, Padova, Venezia, Torino
I dont understand how a society can function like Southern Italy here. Why not just do the thing when you say you will, and say you will do the thing when you intend to?
- Well you see the map is a joke
  
  Even so it must be rooted in some truth exaggerated for humor, right?
- There are multiple ways to approach life. Yours is way to serious, that’s why you’re so unhappy
  
  Lmao. Take a step back my guy. You’re not their therapist.
  
  I am am perfectly happy with my life, and events happening as scheduled is not detrimental to that. Quite the opposite, actually.
lol, are they not Italian?
- Sicily (which would include the south end of the boot) would probably have the same label if it weren't less funny that way. They were all distinct kingdoms and cultures for most of their history. the modern unified Italian identity is quite young by European standards, about as old as the US civil war
  
  Isn't that technically true about all of Italy?
  
  I mean, it's the same with Germany and we joke about how Bavaria isn't really part of Germany so I don't disagree with you
- They're small, oily fish.
Pretty accurate I must say, bravo!
We are not Italian

I'm from Sardinia and this is spot on
