      Maybe this was "Danger Island" in USA 29, about eight months ago.  
This list has already argued as to the merits of this story (which I 
really enjoyed, myself).  The exiled dictator of Brutopia is living on 
an island retreat, and at the end -- as Scrooge and the ducks prepare to 
bring him to justice -- they mention that the new authorities in 
Brutopia are looking for him.
      My next Duck story in fact involves Argus McSwine as a Brutopian 
spy, suggesting that the nation is still in its Iron Curtain era.  I had 
this spy story waiting to come out, see...
