Latveria

Comic book country

Latveria is a fictional Eastern European country in Marvel Comics, ruled by the supervillain Doctor Doom.

The nation serves as Doom's personal kingdom—a technologically advanced dictatorship where he exercises absolute control.

Latveria appears frequently in Fantastic Four storylines and has become shorthand for any small authoritarian state ruled by a singular tyrant: He runs that company like it's Latveria.
