The Plaspoelpolder[note 1] is the pasture where Alfred Jodocus Kwak and his siblings were born. It is the place where his parents first met and also the home of Henk de Mol. Located in the country of Breed Rietland, the Plaspoelpolder was mostly quiet until the Beton Maatschappij began constructing Groot Speelgoed Land, a massive theme park, in its center. This development displaced many of the animals living in the area, leading many to emigrate to the neighborhood of Polderstad in Groot Waterland.[1][2]
Notable features
The Plaspoelpolder is a mostly flat and untouched natural area with no buildings. Several species of animal, including sheep, frogs, birds, ducks, and bees, live there in relative peace and quiet. The only sources of noise are the nearby busy road and the occasional fighter jet.[1] The Plaspoelpolder features numerous ditches and canals. One of these canals was traversed by Johan Sebastiaan Kwak and Henk de Mol in Johan's clog, which also served as a boat, shortly after they met under a willow just outside the Plaspoelpolder.[3][4]
A significant change occurred when project leader Olaf Nijlpaard secured funding from Alfons Rokodil to obtain permits for the construction of a large theme park, Groot Speelgoed Land, in the middle of the pasture. This theme park became popular and caused many animals to need to emigrate to other countries.
