It just depends on you being familiar with the term “bible belt” which is a way of describing that most of the American south is very religious. It takes that idea and extrapolates the existance of several sillier “belts”.
Are they based on something from reality or just made up in the author’s mind?
The belts, other than the Bible belt are made up. Garfield, People Magazine (which I assume that abrev is for…this might not be clear to some) and 17th century French drama are real…
