Maldives

This tiny island nation is a tourist attraction for the wealthy from India, Southeast Asia, and the West. Although it covers approximately 35,000 square miles of ocean, its 1,192 tiny islands have only 116 square miles of land. It is an isolated, sheltered backwater.
This isolation combined with the presence of many wealthy tourists make the Maldives a popular target for supervillains and mundane criminals. It’s a perfect location to take hostages for ransom, or to find juicy targets for blackmail or extortion. The police force is underfunded and superheroes are too far away to foil even a second-string villain.
