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.

History

Generally the Plaspoelpolder is full of wildlife. Animals that don't have buildings as a home and have nests and use clogs as homes. There are some predators lurking about that would eat eggs and small animals, like Rap de Kiekendief and Snel de Snoek^[1]. Furthermore, there are some animals that have feuds, for example Schor de Kraai and Johan Sebastiaan Kwak^[5]. Not all animals live here in harmony, but generally it is peaceful and quiet in de Plaspoelpolder.

When Olaf Nijlpaard got the funding to procure permits to build in de Plaspoelpolder, this changed. The building of Groot Speelgoed Land, funded by Alfons Rokodil and built by the Beton Maatschappij, displaced almost all of the animals. Schor would take his family to Groot Waterland as did Johan. Anna van de Polder's parents left for the south, splitting the family up. Even predators like Snel and Rap emigrated^[6]^[7]^[2].
