Sri Lanka
A small and independent island nation just past the southern tip of India, Sri Lanka is sometimes mistakenly regarded as a “suburb” or adjunct to India, but this isn’t so. It’s predominantly Buddhist, ruled by a powerful executive branch, and generally has a higher standard of living than its neighbor.
Life in Sri Lanka is safe and routine, kept so by the strict controls of the generally benevolent despots of the executive branch. A couple of decades ago, conflict between that branch and the people led to years of violence, but the relationship has become more peaceful and led to an improved standard of living for those nearer the bottom of the economic spectrum.
There are about as many supers from Sri Lanka as would be expected for their population, but very few supers in Sri Lanka. The low rate of crime leaves heroes little to do and a small cadre of “superheroes” loyal to the executive branch exert pressure for others to leave. The exceptions are those who work with the criminal organization housed at the Beacon facility just off its coast, which has an uneasy, but stable, non-aggression pact with the executive branch.
