The Comic Book series was first published by Marvel Comics and later, Devil's Due Productions . The Marvel comics series was written primarily by Larry Hama .


COUNTRIES


Larry Hama frequently uses fictional countries as stand-ins for real countries with similar political and economic conditions. These countries are frequently a satire of the real world counterparts. Devil's Due productions also continued the trend of using fictional stand-ins.

Listed are the fictional countries in the G.I. Joe comics Universe .

  • Sierra Gordo - capital Rio Lindo. It is a Central American country and is a stand-in for Banana Republic s.

  • Trucial Abysmia - Located somewhere in North Africa, it represents Middle-Eastern dictator-ruled countries in the region. Cobra used the country as a launching point for the invasion of Benzheen and capture its oil. The invasion was meant to mirror the actual Gulf War .

  • Benzheen - the oil-rich neighbor of Trucial Abysmia. This country is a fictional stand-in for Kuwait .

  • Darklonia - a small country ruled by Destro 's cousin, Darklon. It is situated between Trans-Carpathia and Wolkekuckukkland.

  • Trans-Carpathia - a stand-in for Transylvania and other Balkan regions, and home of the Silent Castle.

  • Borovia - capital Krogdnz. This country was originally a stand-in for communist Eastern Europe. Just like its real-world counterparts, communism fell and democracy was put in place. Near the end of the Marvel comics series, it became a satire for the breakup and war in Yugoslavia . The country was renamed into Borigia/Krazny-Marengo which even the characters in the series admit as a more confusing name.

  • Badhikstan - possibly a stand-in for Afghanistan and other similar countries where people's opinion regarding Americans could be manipulated.

  • Punto del Mucosa - Sierra Gordo's neighboring country.

  • Wolkekuckukkland - The neighboring country of Darklonia.

  • Kalingaland - formally Equatorial Kalingaland, with its capital of Kalingaville. This country was wracked by a civil war between Soviet-backed Kalinga-Rouge rebels and the U.S.-backed Kalinga government before its leader Prince Ngoto returned.

  • Sierra Muerte - a country neighboring Sierra Gordo, which Destro allied himself with in his elaborate ruse to keep both G.I. Joe and Cobra distracted from his discovery of Mindbender's Tempest device.


Several fictional American cities have played important roles in the G.I.Joe comic books.


CITIES, AMERICAN


Springfield - was the first entire-G.I.Joe controlled town. Cobra stored much there; for example many otherwise innocent-looking garages has tanks inside. It was invaded and nuetralized in issue #50 of the Marvel Comic book series.

Broca Beach - was the secondary town crafted by Cobra. It was in New Jersey. This was run by the Dreadnoks . It was discovered by two Joes, Rock'N'Roll and Clutch , but they were brainwashed into forgetting the Cobra influence.

Millsville - This industry-heavy town already had a well established history. Cobra forces invaded and simply took it over. The citizens were rounded up and brainwashed. Two other Joes, Mutt and Spirit , were on hand and lead a small resistance movement.

Delhi Hills - Featuted in the ''Devil's Due'' relaunch. A smaller town, economically struggling.. Cobra had not fully taken it over yet, as some of the citizens were innocent of their influence. Rock'N'Roll , Alpine , Bazooka and Mutt discover the situation after a local bartender acts oddly. The Joes successfully escape the resulting battle, the bar burns down and no sign of Cobra is found. Despite no evidence, the group's story is believed by the other Joes.
