Rheelasia

Rheelasia is a country that features in DC Comics.

History

Origin

At the Republic of Rheelasia, Generalissimo and President Singh Manh Lee uncovered natural gas reserves which they intended to power thousands of homes across the country. However, an explosion erupts that killed five thousand people with ten thousand more injured. Initially, no terrorist organizations took responsibility for the incident but eventually the Green Brotherhood claimed their part in the incident. (Birds of Prey: Black Canary/Oracle v1 #1)

Post-Flashpoint

Following the Flashpoint, a new history of events was created with a different timeline of events. The country of Rheelasia was noted for being crime infested with drug dealers and gun smugglers dominating the area until Kaizen Gamorra took over where he turned it into one of the fast growing economies of the world that had been renamed as New Gamorra. In that time, it was noted for being the fourth biggest economy in Asia but was developed entirely by Kaizen Gamorra without reliance on outside investment. (Batman/Superman v1 #8) Since resettlement, the Gamorrans had kept information tight on their society. (Worlds' Finest v1 #20)

In other media

Television

• In Young Justice, Rhelasia appeared in the setting of the animated television series where it made its first full appearance in he episode "Targets". It was revealed that the country was founded in 1855 where it was ruled by the Bokun Dynasty until it was divided into North and South Rhelasia after World War II by the great powers. The two sides were engaged in hostilities with one another and refused most peace overtures made by the other side as they refused any form of unification between the nations. LexCorp was noted to had sold weapons to both sides but this ended when Lex Luthor sponsored a peace talk in Taipei to bring an end to the fighting. When Roy Harper confronted Luthor about his previous weapon sales, Lex replied that it was more profitable to help in the re-development of a country than simple armament sales. The peace talks were seemingly opposed by the League of Assassins who sent agents to target Luthor but ultimately this was believed to be a ruse made by the Light. It was later revealed that Rheelasia suffered from a tsunami that caused devastating damage to the countries with the Justice League being unable to intervene on a humanitarian basis due to restrictions placed on it by the United Nations. In the aftermath, a United Rheelasia was formed with its representative to the United Nation's being ambassador Kaizen Gamorra.
