"Yes, in the year 2080, government began to give way to corporations.
More like 2008.

Rip Hunter to Jefferson Jackson on the rise of Kasnia Conglomerate.[src]

The Kasnia Conglomerate, simply known as Kasnia, is a future nation in Europe by 2147 on Earth-1. It is led by a board of directors, headed by Per Degaton, who elected Vandal Savage as his proxy due to his young age (after usurping power from his 'weak' father Tor, murdered by his own son).

History[]

Possible future[]

In the year 2080, national governments made way for corporations to become governments themselves. In doing this, the Kasnia Conglomerate was formed in Europe (Earth-1), promoting no crime, pollution or poverty, but only allowing stockholders to have rights. It came to be owned by Tor Degaton and a board of directors by 2133. Over the past century and a half, the nation began to make use of Ray Palmer's A.T.O.M. Exosuit, engineering it in to a robot army to patrol the streets. Eventually, Per Degaton killed his father Per in 2147, considering him to be weak, allowing Vandal Savage to act as his proxy. In doing so, Savage used Kasnia as a foothold for his later rise to power starting from 2152, firstly in Europe (Earth-1) and then across the world by 2166.[1]

Trivia[]

  • The Kasnia Conglomerate is probably a successor state to the Republic of Kasnia (or simply known as Kasnia), as it is located in the Balkans region of eastern Europe, similarly to the way it was described in its original appearances. Even the flags are the same, with a black five-pointed/pentagram star against a red triangular background, itself facing a black backdrop.

Behind the scenes[]

  • In DC Comics, Kaznia or Kasnia is a country in the Balkans region of Europe, similar to its portrayal in Arrow and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The country's history of civil wars and strife references that of the historical country of Yugoslavia.
    • Although it later appeared in the comics, the Republic of Kasnia originates from the DC Animated Universe (1992-2006), rather than the main DC comics universe.
