History
Bagalia
In time, business was booming in the country leading to it being the destination spot for the rich and famous. (Secret Avengers v1 #21.1)
Nick Fury, Jr. was dispatched to Bagalia in secret where he paid off Crossfire in order to access a jail cell holding the Taskmaster. This was because S.H.I.E.L.D. intended to recruit the villain for a covert team. However, Crossfire betrayed Fury and intended to sell him out to the other supervillains on the island but the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent managed to knock him out. They were then cornered by the supervillains with Fury abandoning Taskmaster to them whilst he fled with the Secret Avengers. In reality though, Taskmaster was recovered by Mockingbird who had disguised herself as Alyoisus Thorndrake where she had him transported off the island. (Secret Avengers v2 #2)
The LMD Max Fury and the Shadow Council came to establish their headquarters in the capital city of Bagalia that was located underground in a chasm and under complete video surveillance. From there, they came to establish the latest incarnation of the Masters of Evil that operated from the nation. (Secret Avengers v1 #21.1)
Baron Zemo later took control of Bagalia which he placed as a dictatorship and headed the Masters of Evil. (Avengers Undercover v1 #1)
Helmut Zemo continued to operate from the country when he took charge of Hydra and looked to deploy a biological doomsday weapon against the world. The new Captain America Sam Wilson managed to escape with the test subject whose blood was used for the weapon and looked to find a safe area for them within the city. However, the captive was actually willingly helping Hydra and turned on Wilson who was injured by gunfire. Sam was then pursued by Crossbones who looked to kill Captain America. (All-New Captain America v1 #2)
Baron Zemo later made efforts for Bagalia to be recognised as an independent nation leading to an alliance with the Mandarin to serve as the country's foreign representative. This saw him also secure an alliance with Dario Agger and the Roxxon Energy Corporation in using their connections to get the United Nation's to recognise them. (Punisher v12 #1)
Whilst in Bagalia, Arcade was approached by Kraven the Hunter who commissioned him with building something for him. (Amazing Spider-Man v5 #14)
