Dherain was a small European monarchy ruled by King Marov.
History
On Earth-2, around the beginning of the 21st Century, Dherain was a small but modern monarchy that unwisely allied itself with the Apokoliptian conqueror Steppenwolf, to protect itself from its neighbors. King Marov even more unwisely tried to double-cross his Apokoliptian ally, who killed him, and took over his country.[1]
Two weeks later, the World Army invaded Dherain, and after a short but savage battle, was completely defeated by Steppenwolf and his forces. Hundreds of thousands of casualties were inflicted on the invaders, before a renegade lieutenant of Steppenwolf publicly murdered him, and took over his entire operation. By this time the entire nation of Dherain was either in ruins or on fire.[2]
Points of Interest
- St. Draemyre, the capital city, is ultra-futuristic looking, and apparently it was like that before Steppenwolf's arrival there.

- Art in the last panel of the last page in Earth 2 #16 shows Dherain as being either in or adjacent to northeastern Italy.
