We don't know much about this subject island of the Agatean Empire (Interesting Times), except that its unusual flora includes the sledgehammer plant, one of the Disc's carnivorous plants.

The island fulfills the role of Borneo on our world, in as much as it is large, covered in jungle, and home to the orangutan. It is also the site of the death of explorer Sir Roderick Purdeigh, after he yelled at a "native" and jabbed him with his walking stick in an attempt to make him stand up straight and say something other than "ook".

Also mentioned once in The Truth.

Annotation

Bhang. Bhang. Duc(k).

Hmmmm.

Bang. Kock.

As in the capital of Thailand on Roundworld. Perhaps the second 'bhang' is there for emphasis?

Also a very vague memory of "bhang" or "bang" meaning "cannabis" in one of the Indian subcontinent languages. Perhaps a second level of punning here?

Also to the Eastern dish, Peking Duck?
