History
Pre-Crisis
Modora was a small country located on Earth situated in Europe where the kingdom was based in the Balkans. (Green Lantern v2 #14)
At some point, a Modorian named Bito Waldon had travelled to the United States where the brilliant inventor specialized in the use of sound. He had a hatred for larger countries, the United States in particular and had decided to become a criminal to boost awareness of his home land of Modora by committing fantastic crimes in America. Waldon would embark on his criminal career by becoming a costumed supervillain called Sonar. Around this time, Green Lantern Hal Jordan had been passing by Modora in order to collect a stamp from the nation for his friend Tom Kalmaku. It was in this time that the hero came to learn of Waldon leading to his eventual confrontation with the villain in the United States. (Green Lantern v2 #14)
Post-Crisis
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. Modora
Wladon once invited the Elongated Man Ralph Dibny and Sue Dibny on a tour of his country. Not trusting the archduke, Ralph reluctantly agreed – if only to keep an eye on Sue, whom Bito had taken an interest in. Bito continued to flirt with Sue, and Ralph's jealousy and anger continued to grow. He eventually learned that Bito was actually Sonar and planned to corner him with this knowledge. Before he got the chance however, the Archduke voluntarily told him that Sonar was another man entirely, though he was a former citizen of Modora. (Elongated Man v1 #2)
