Slightly late, but Happy New Year to everyone!

In English, Donald lives in 'Duckburg'. 'burg' is used colloquially to mean 'Town' or 'City' etc... but I think it mean 'Fortress' in German.

This makes sense since: (according to the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckburg )

In the comics, the location that would eventually become known as Duckburg was originally known as "Fort Drake Borough," a fort built in the 16th century by British explorer Sir Francis Drake. By the 19th century, the fort had been handed over by its departing British occupants to Cornelius Coot, who renamed the fort "Duckburg."
