Markovia is a country in Europe.

Overview

Markovia is a small industrial European nation. Its capital and only major city is Markovburg. The country has no extradition treaty with the United States of America.

History

Markovia is first mentioned when Oliver Queen is tracking Deadshot and finds out he once operated out of the country.

When wondering where Cecil Adams could possibly be hiding, Felicity Smoak suggested Markovia.

Milo Armitage, a businessman, wished to acquire the second Markov Device to use in Markovia, however he was caught by The Arrow before he could do a thing.

The Suicide Squad, led by Amanda Waller, went on a mission in to Markovburg, Markovia to obtain a deadly nerve agent that Gholem Qadir had. A.R.G.U.S. ordered a drone attack on the building containing the nerve agent, as it was too big to move, however the Suicide Squad along with Floyd Lawton, who the missiles were locked on to, escaped the building. They were able to get the chip out of his body, allowing the missile to explode some distance from them. However, the Markovian government were annoyed at the drone detonation in a no-fly zone, and threatened retaliation against the American government.

Markovia was mentioned by Lyla Michaels as one of the countries with a nuclear missile arsenal, which the Rubicon protocol, developed by A.R.G.U.S., could theoretically control.

Jay Garrick mentions Markovia when Team Flash is discussing The Crystal Ball (Painting).
