       Ooookay....let's run with this a bit. If ducks are like Cajuns then
Ganderland is like Arcadia. Arcadia became Nova Soctia (assuming I'm making
my History roll) after the French and Indian War, and the ancestors of the
Cajuns moved to Louisiana. This would suggest that Ganderland is some land
that is now overrun by somebody else. This has game potential, perhaps with

ducks rallying to retake their lost homeland, if they can ever figure out
where it is actually is. :)

       Or if nothing else, we have an excuse to have a duck restaurant or two
in Pavis and other cities.
