Would they be, though?

How far do Candy Land's borders extend? I mean, we aren't talking about Candy *World* here; we're talking about a small subsection of a much larger planet, the nature of which is presumably very similar to our own (given that human children are able to make pilgrimages to and through a country composed entirely of confectionary). True, Candy Land's apparent isolationism would protect them for a time... but ants – *real* ants – are nothing if not tenacious... and the realm of Gumdrop Mountains and Peanut Acres would soon be reduced to nothing more than an extended meal.

The destruction would be slow... but inevitable: Ever-increasing swarms of small, black insects – little more than an annoyance in our reality – would come to be seen as harbingers of the end days. Where we would expect the arrival of four horsemen, the denizens of Candy Land would speak in terrified whispers of the apocalyptic onslaught being wrought at the mandibles of a trillion minuscule invaders. The soil would be blighted, the natural resources would be reduced to nothing, and the infrastructure of this once-great kingdom would be consumed by the onward assault of the drones: First one by one, then two by two, the plunderers would march and wreak havoc, leaving nothing in their wake but nightmares.

Candy Land would have *so many* ants.
