Alaska (Dave Barry is referring to himself when he says "we")
Despite being close to Alabama in the dictionary, Alaska is actually located in Canada. This is only one of the astounding facts about this dynamic state, which is so big that if you were to walk across it at the rate of 25 miles per day, you would get moose poop all over your shoes. You find moose poop everywhere in Alaska. You can buy souvenirs made from it. We once bought (this is true) some moose-poop swizzle sticks in Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, where our hotel had a huge stuffed bear in the lobby striking a pose that said: "Welcome to Alaska! I am going to rip your face off!" Alaska also contains large quantities of nature in the form of tundra ("tundra" is the Eskimo word for "nothing") and glaciers, which are enormous pieces of ice that have somehow developed the ability to creep around, which is a pretty scary concept and we just hope that they don't learn to walk erect. The Official State Motto of Alaska is "Brrrrrrr!" The Official State Bird is covered with oil

That was kind of the whole point of the film.

Yes it was. It is a resurrection of what the original authors of the fairy tales that Walt Disney butchered had in mind, which usually involves people dying and monsters asking people to do awful things. In El Laberinto del fauno, the story is about a girl who wants to get away from a world that has suddenly turned very ugly and cruel, but is unwilling to let her brother die in order to do so. This would not be a story you could tell properly without demonstrating fully what she was so eager to escape, which is what our compulsive-shaving Captain (or whatever he is rank-wise) symbolises.
