We don't know much about this subject island of the [[Agatean Empire]] ({{IT}}), except that its unusual flora includes the [[Sledgehammer Plant of Bhangbhangduc|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".

It appears unusual in the economics of the disc in that it uses the Silver Standard to base its money. This is unpopular in other areas who use gold (which does not tarnish).

Also mentioned once in {{TT}}.

Bhangbhangduc has its own distinct ethnic cuisine, encountered via [[Feeney Upshot]]'s grandparents in {{SN}}. Examples include

* ''Bang Suck Duck'' (swede and chips optional)
* ''Man Dog Suck Po'' ( with mashed carrots, but only as a Sunday special)

==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? (or, more likely, [http://chinesefood.about.com/od/szechuanpoultryrecipes/r/bangbangchicken.htm Bang Bang Chicken])

The President of Indonesia is Susilo ''Bambang'' Yudhoyono.

Also a bhangmeter is a type of sensor used to detect nuclear explosions, two "bhangs" (ie a double flash) and it's likely to be a nuke going off: Bang! Bang! Duck! ?
