Markovia is a country that is home to the Markovians, with its capital being Markovburg. It is governed by the Markov family.

History

At some point during the Cold War, the United States funded Markovia's scientific operations to take advantage of the country's legality towards human experimentation. For the next several decades, Markovia became known for housing various meta-humans for experimentation as well as being invasive and ruthless in their exploits. In the early-1980s, Markovia's ruling party was forcibly removed by Tyson Sykes, who rebelled against them and chased the stationed United States operatives out of the country.

By modern day, this escalation drew the attention of the A.S.A. once their colonel, Yuri Mosin, invaded Freeland in order to abduct meta-human children. After abducting Lynn Stewart in order to create a meta-human serum, the A.S.A. asked for the aid of Black Lightning, forming a team to infiltrate Markovia in order to both save Lynn and stop the invasion.

After he was injected with the meta booster, Tyson Sykes used telekinesis to kill Colonel Mosin, before assembling an army of troopers to invade Freeland again.
