Kyrgyzstan
Of all the nations in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is the safest and most stable. As the Soviet Union collapsed, Kyrgyzstan was the poorest Soviet Socialist Republic, the one with the fewest resources, and thus suffered the least interference from Russia. Over the intervening decades, new sources of stability emerged, including the alien super-being known as Oculus.
Oculus is a powerful being on par with Bogatyr and The Centurion, but, unlike them, Oculus does not play a role on the world stage. When he arrived on Earth, he fell in love with a Kyrgyzstani woman and joined her family. He has remained in the country even after the death of his wife, and uses his power to maintain order and defeat criminals in his adopted homeland. Despite polite pressure from UNISON and enormous bribe offers from SHADOW, he steadfastly refuses to get involved in the larger concerns of the world.
Super-beings in Kyrgyzstan live in Oculus’ shadow. Many try to live up to his example of contributing to their local community as well as to the safety and stability of Kyrgyzstan overall. A few, like Bak, the former national hero of Kyrgyzstan, are jealous of Oculus and work to thwart him in any way they can.
