a tiny kingdom where bread is currency and the mallards are mob bosses
means A small, shallow pond, often man-made and found on a village green or farm, where ducks gather, swim, and are frequently fed.
from A plain compound of two old Germanic words. "Duck" comes from Old English "duce," thought to mean "diver" (a cousin of "duck" the verb, to bob down) — the bird named for its plunging habit. "Pond" is a variant of "pound," an enclosure, originally any body of water deliberately confined. Stick them together and you get exactly what it says: a penned-in patch of water for the divers.
