The United Arab Emirates

Located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the UAE is a federation of seven emirates, each ruled by an emir as absolute monarch. Together, these seven form a Federal Supreme Council, which selects one of their number as President of the federation. A powerful oil-producing nation, the UAE has been criticized for its human rights record, particularly the harsh requirements of Sharia law, much like neighboring Saudi Arabia.
Although the UAE have no known citizen superhumans, they are famous (or infamous) for hiring super-powered mercenaries and other “advisors” and “consultants” on an as-needed basis, often with little concern for their legal status in other parts of the world. Rumor has it that individual monarchs of the Emirates also invest in potential sources of private superhuman soldiers, or items of power they might claim for themselves, although without any significant success thus far.
