Algeria

A nation with a rich history that stretches back to Phoenicia and Carthage, Algeria is a relatively wealthy and stable nation made even safer by the presence of one of the more powerful superheroes in the region. Tanit, Punic goddess of war, healing, and fertility, is not always in agreement with the goals of the modern government and its politicians, but she is sworn to protect their people. Her current avatar is Lina Yacine, a young artist who was saved from a vicious attack when Tanit chose Lina as her mortal agent. Naming herself after the goddess who saved her, Lina is now a superhumanly powerful demi-god whose mind and soul are a mix of human and divine. Tanit is friendly with most of the superheroes in the region, and has a modest fan following in Europe and North America due to various high-profile heroics in recent years. She also protects nearby Tunisia and other regions with equal vigor, because they were once part of the Phoenician and Carthaginian civilizations.
