History
The supervillain Count Vertigo was the last surviving descendant of the royal family of Vlatava. He frequently mentioned his status as a political figure, though he made little effort to reclaim his throne. The Count's insanity also allowed him to be manipulated easily.
All inhabitants of Vlatava, with the exception of Vertigo and the current president, were murdered by the Spectre who believed that Vlatava had degenerated so far that all its inhabitants were doomed to die in wars or starve.[1]

Vlatava is an Eastern European constitutional monarchy ruled by the young Queen Perdita following the assassination of her father King Josef Vladek by Sportsmaster. Perdita's uncle Count Vertigo was originally next in line for the throne, but was removed from succession following his numerous attempts to kill her.
Vlatava faced a refugee crisis when many Markovians fled their country due to panic over the pro-metahuman policies enacted by Markovia's King Brion Markov.
After five patients fell into unexplained comas and were admitted to Royal Memorial Hospital in Vlatavastok, Nightwing and his squad went to the hospital undercover as a United Nations commission. The Team discovered that all five of the comatose patients worked at a mining camp near Krastmala.
