Location: Island off eastern Africa, between Madagascar and the Seychelles.
Government Structure: Autocratic Monarchy, King’s Cabinet.
Travel Advisories: Genosha is patrolled by an elite airforce of standard propulsion aircraft, as well as airborne Acolytes and mechanical sentries.
Sanctions: United States, and all protectorates, have mandated trade embargoes against Genosha due to their pro-mutant policies.
Profile: Genosha’s population consists largely of English-speaking Europeans and Africans who originally established the island as a genetically pure homeland for themselves far from heterogeneous European and African countries. The country is mineral-rich and self-sufficient, ranking among the most prosperous in the world despite sanctions from the United States and their allies.
History: Founded by European Industrialists who wished to seperate themselves from the more accepting cultures of their nations. Specifically those cultures that accepted mutants as equals. Genosha’s anti-mutant policies were even decried by those nations like the United States who had their own sanctions against Mutants. The all-powerful Genoshan State Security Agency (which answered only nominally to the President) Bio-Engineered a slave race to feed their Blue Blooded culture called Mutates — Nameless superpowered slaves brainwashed to serve the state. Mutates performed many functions, but were especially used for the capture and enslavement of mutants or superbeings who entered Genosha.
When the Genosha President attempted to gain a measure of support through out the world for Genosha’s anti-mutant policies he met with heavy opposition. None so forceful as Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr. The latter, under the name Magneto, spurred a civil war between Genosha’s human slavers and the mutate/mutant slaves.
Aided by Magneto the meta-human populace was sure to win the civil war, sparking fear in the world’s other anti-mutant countries, but none so much as America who boasted the second largest mutant population (behind Genosha). On the eve of Magneto’s victory in Genosha the President of the United States, George W. Bush, authorized the full mobilization of the Sentinel Defense Fleet against Genosha. All of which were summarily defeated by Magneto, who did not counter attack against the United States. Magneto instead dismantled much of the Sentinel Fleet to use for parts to establish a defense perimeter around Genosha. This action effectively ended the Civil War allowing Erik Lehnsherr to establish a new government.
Genosha embraced their new leader’s government, even the former slavers accepting him after he saved them from what would have been a massacre at the hands of the Sentinels, paving the way for Genosha to become the first fully integrated society. Humans were not exiled, nor treated as second class. Humans like the brilliant David Moreau would find themselves treated as equal to their mutant counterparts.
Site Overview: In the heart of the capital city, which is named Providence, stands the Citadel — palace and headquarters to the Genosha Royal Family, formerly home to the Genoshan State Security. The Citadel’s most striking design feature is a trapezoidal tower, which serves as a beacon and a citywide public address system. All Genoshan Cities, and Protectorate Cities, have similiar beacons.
To the North, of Providence, is the Ridgeback Mountains, where the mutant settlement zone was located before the war. Since the war this area has been reclaimed and revitalized as a mutant training ground for the Acolytes.
To the South, of Providence, is Hammer Bay, Genosha’s largest city and their official port harbor. Hammer Bay is one of the largest cities in the entire world in terms of space, covering roughly 1/3 of the entire island. Hammer Bay is marked by it’s unique design and skyline, the craftsman is largely the work of Erik Lehnsherr’s control over his mutant power.
Enhanced Individuals: Genosha has a population of 1.2 million, of which an estimate 50% have access to what is called a meta-human ability. Of that number there is over half are gene-engineered mutates. Magneto, the Scarlet Witch, Exodus, Amelia Voight, Storm, Cortez, and Pipeline are considered the Highest Profile.
Technology Level: Genosha has showed unequalled technology for the manipulation and cloning of DNA. This has translated into leading the world in many sciences related to health. As well as anti-metahuman sciences such as nullification technology.
Due in part to the relative new coming of Erik Lehnsherr to the genoshan science scene Genosha has also begun show amazing advances in energy. This has resulted in an almost overnight change in their contribution to world pollution as the country has converted away from fossil fuels to other more effecient energies.
Resource Level: Genosha’s resource level is 12, however this is upgraded to 18 with the addition of African resources (such as Vibranium).
