Somalia
Somalia has been home to more than its share of strife due to rebellion, insurrection, and piracy off its shores in recent decades. Economically, despite government instability, the nation is surprisingly robust due to numerous ports, sea trade, and local industries, but these problems still pose a danger to life and property. Recent efforts by local and international authorities have helped reduce piracy and stabilize the country, but these efforts are still ongoing, so what effect they will have in the long run is unknown. The presence of mostly low-powered superhumans among various pirates and extremist groups makes things more difficult, requiring the authorities to call upon local and international costumed heroes to deal with particularly dangerous situations.
Somalia has a few superheroes of its own, most notably Coldiid, a mysterious figure who takes his name from a wise warrior who shunned violence and sought peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Less pacifistic than his namesake, the hooded hero is still notable for his devotion to using only nonlethal weapons, seemingly of his own design, to apprehend pirates, criminals, and other threats.
