Bangladesh

Bangladesh has been wracked by war, corruption and a series of natural catastrophes that has sent other nations into total collapse. Through it all, the Bangladeshi remain a hopeful people who live up to the promises they’ve made to the rest of the world. As an example of how seriously they take their promises, for half a century, this impoverished country has been one of the largest contributors of peacekeeping forces to the United Nations.
The country produces a larger number of non-powered superheroes than any other country of its size. UNISON first noticed this trend in 2003, and has been making discrete inquiries ever since to find both promising new recruits and some explanation for the trend toward vigilantism and heroism. SHADOW has also noticed, and is paying a more sinister form of attention, hoping to recruit more agents for mundane assassinations and other covert missions.
BANGLADESH FOR BANGLADESHIS A political and social movement focused on the “super-resilience” of the local population, called “Bangladesh for Bangladeshis” encourages the people to be proud of their above-average abilities and contributions. Like most decentralized organizations, its individual members hold a spectrum of ideologies that match its core ethos. The better angels work to alleviate poverty and suffering within the nation by applying the drive, spirit, and abilities of their countrypeople. The darker side of the movement trends towards racism and warmongering disturbingly similar to that of Germany in the 1930s.
