I'll say this about the Borotavians -- They're stubborn! They want to spread their civil war to the surrounding countries -- -- And they'll kill anyone who wants to stop them!

—Superman

On Earth-One, in the late 1970s, the tiny Balkan Republic of Borotavia became a brutal dictatorship when the Military Police staged a coup.

• Military Marshall
  
  

Notes

• National insignia on military aircraft are red, but not star-shaped. Borotavian military men address one another as "Comrade". This suggests that Borotavia was an Earth-One counterpart for a non-aligned Communist government, such as Yugoslavia.
