Fictional locations
This section is concerned with all the locations from the animated series and the books. The world Alfred Jodocus Kwak and the other characters inhabit is based on the real world. However, not all continents are given a proper name in the story itself, which makes most of the world building a little bit of guesswork.

This continent is never given a name in the series, but it contains all the countries based on real-life European countries.
