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.
