Latveria is a Fictional Nation in the Marvel Universe . It is located between the real-life nations of Hungary , Serbia , and Romania . It also borders the fictional Symkaria , home of Silver Sable . Surrounded by the Carpathians to the north and the Malhela range to the south, Latveria has remained protected from the strife of neighbouring countries. Its current reigning monarch, Victor Von Doom , has kept the nation protected from international affairs and economic downturns. Though he has been dethroned a number of times, von Doom has inevitably managed to return to the throne of his country and restore the nation to economic prosperity within a matter of months. The population consists of mixed European stock and Gypsies , in whose welfare von Doom takes a particular interest. Latveria boasts freedom from the racism that the Roma are greeted with in other countries. Due to technological advancements far beyond anything in any other nation, Latveria has managed to remain unfoulled by industrial pollutants. Because of Doom's many weapons and forces and his mere presence in Latveria, the country is considered a world Superpower . Despite (or perhaps because of) its complete lack of a native super-hero populace, Latveria boasts an unparalleled rate of safety. The nation is policed by Robot sentinels designed and manufactured by Doctor Doom himself. Due to Doom's constant activities that drive him away from Latveria, the monarch is often absent. After Doom's descent into Hell , the nation became a target for conquest by the neighboring countries, forcing Reed Richards to take matters into his own hands and seize control of the country, attempting to pry the populace out from under the thumb of Doom, while at the same time disarming all of Doom's weaponry and technology, so if he ever should return, he would come back to absolutely nothing. In the process, Richard relocated Doom from Hell into a pocket dimension of his own design, and although Doom used his consciousness-switching abilities to escape, the death of his host body seemingly caused him too to die, and the Fantastic Four pulled out of the country. During '' Avengers Disassembled '', Iron Man alluded to the fact that several dictators might have attempted to rule Latveria in Doom's absence or that, while Doom goes through one of his famous disappearances, other people might take over before Doom comes back and deposes them. Recently, Doom has returned from hell, and has retaken the reins of Latveria. He is however keeping his return a secret as of now, ruling via a puppet Prime Minister. Doom also uses robotic versions of himself to keep the peace while he's away. Latveria is very briefly hinted at in the Spider-Man 2 video game when J. Jonah Jameson says that a Latverian diplomat is landing at the United Nations building by helicopter. The capital city of Latveria is Doomstadt, located just north of the Kline River. The administrative center is Castle Doom.
