Uberworld Countries: R-Z

The superhero, Siva Afi is based in Samoa, but travels throughout Polynesia often as part of the Sons of Maui. He has by himself caused an increase in tourism to Samoa by 50% as he gives shows of awesome displays of Fire Knife Dancing.

In the past, superhuman mercenaries were paid by various factions to support their insurgent efforts. Independent, uninvited superhumans have been banned from the country and will be arrested on sight by the police or by the peacekeeping force. The Southern Knights as well as the independent superhero based in Cairns, Australia, TURTLE, have been granted open invitations by the Solomonese government.

Historically, Sri Lanka was plagued by a civil war between the government and the Tamil Tigers.  A combination of the tsunami and the incursion by India has mostly neutralised that conflict.  Tamil forces have been reduced to a handful, and are continually being arrested and incarcerated by the Indian authorities.

Most of Sri Lanka's uberhuman population were killed during the tsunami and the arrival of The Assembly.

After Seiche rampaged through Lausanne, the Swiss Army built three nearly identical suits of modular powered armor which it has called Aiguille, Horn, and Monte. While none of these individually can match up with most battlesuits employed by superhumans, as a team the Swiss Army Men are formidable, especially when backed up by the Swiss military forces. The team has been involved in thwarting superhuman thieves but has seen little other direct action.

A past incursion by the Immortals (1993) was turned away by the Flying Tiger Team. But these protectors of Taiwan suffered severely from the attack. Of that much hallowed team, only Sea Dragon is currently active. He occasionally works with other members of Shichinin no Yuushi (the Seven Heroes).

The major problem for the government is the increasing Muslim separatist violence in the south. There are also minor border demarcation differences with Laos, Cambodia, and Burma. The narcotics production and distribution has generally been on a decline in Thailand due to strict eradication and enforcement efforts.

Fatwa's presence has been a rare problem, but for the most part, they have their hands elsewhere. There is a national superhuman team called the Thai Fighters Squadron composed of the birdman Garuda, the elephant metamorph Chang Thai, and the martial artist Ratchaphruek. In addition to combating normal crime and the occasional incursion of Fatwa, they also deal with the superhumans of the drug and human trafficking syndicate known as Black Hand.

With conflicting claims of strategic and economically important islands in the South China Sea, Vietnam has its share of border issues with both Chinas, the Philippines, and Cambodia. It is also a minor producer of narcotics (especially opium) and struggles with a large segment of its populace addicted to narcotics.

Within the Vietnamese Communist Party are two major factions, each of which is supported by an uber. The Old Guard - the die-hard Communists are championed by Iron Hand, while the Economic Liberals are championed by Renovation. There is also a martial artist known as Non who is apolitical, desiring only to help people in trouble.
