The Axis of evil: Latveria
" President George W Bush has accused the tiny Eastern European nation of Latveria of harbouring the technology to produce nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.

UN inspectors were ejected from the capital by President Victor von Doom's personal imperial guard troops some months ago, yet with US foreign policy concentrating on Iraq, Iran and North Korea as Bush's very own 'axis of evil', the emphasis has shifted away from this 'rogue state' and its allegedly despotic ruler. The implications of this accusation leave the US's already strained relationship with the EU in even worse strife. Particularly as Latveria recently made formal diplomatic overtures towards possible EU membership.

President von Doom has been regarded as a threat to global security on the numerous occasions he has attempted to take over the world, but even prominent US scientist and inventor Dr Reed Richards, who has known the dictator personally since college, has claimed that the danger he poses is now negligible. "Leopards can change their spots you know" he glibly remarked."
