Latveria is a fictional country appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is depicted within the storylines of Marvel's comic titles as a small, isolated European country ruled by the fictional Supreme Lord Doctor Doom, supposedly located in the Banat region. It is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, and borders Symkaria (home of Silver Sable) to the south. Its capital is Doomstadt.

Publication history

Latveria first appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #2 (1964), ruled by Victor von Doom. In Fantastic Four #536 (2006), he kills his own Prime Minister for claiming control of Latveria in his absence.

Latveria is an isolated European country ruled by the fictional Supreme Lord Doctor Doom. It is located in the Banat region, where Hungary, Romania and Serbia meet. Its capital Hassenstadt has been named Doomstadt since Doom seized power, ruling the kingdom from Castle Doom. It is a largely rural nation that is dependent on Doom's scientific pursuits, free of disease and crime, but severely oppressed. Doom has surveillance devices planted throughout the country and has hidden force fields to prevent its residents from leaving without his consent. Latveria relies largely on Doom's robotic sentinels, the Doombots, to keep law and order.

History

When Doctor Doom is sent to Hell, the nation is targeted by its neighbors, leading the Fantastic Four to intervene. The United States attempts to fill the void left by Doom by supporting Lucia von Bardas as the new Prime Minister. During the Secret War, S.H.I.E.L.D. Commander Nick Fury leads an effort to oust Bardas, after discovering that she worked with Tinkerer to sell Doom's technology to various supervillains. The nation is decimated during an attack by the Marquis of Death. The Avengers later invade Latveria to confront Doom for his unintentional involvement in the release of a symbiote virus. Doom is imprisoned for crimes against humanity, but restores his nation using time travel, with the help of Norman Osborn.

Inhabitants

Latveria has largely been ruled by Doom after killing the tyrannical King Vladimir. Doom has Romani heritage, and declares the kingdom's Romani people a protected class. However, the nation's oppression and primitive economy affects them mostly the same. The nation includes figures loyal to Doom, including scientists, political leaders such as Lucia von Bardas, and henchmen such as the Seven Daggers of Doom. In one story, the scientist Dreadknight turns against Doom. In the distant past, Doom is supported by his Zefiro guardian Boris, whose granddaughter Valeria becomes Doom's teenage love. The kingdom is the setting for Doom's family history, including his parents Cynthia and Werner, his adopted child Kristoff Vernard, and his alleged son Alexander Flynn.
