Gamorra Island has had a history of terrorism under the rules of two different Kaizen Gamorras.
Overview:
An outlaw island nation located in the western Pacific Ocean. Originally called Parousia Island, it was taken over by clan Gamorra, who landed there in 1543. Centuries later, its tyrannical ruler Kaizen Gamorra was overthrown by the insane immortal John Colt and Gamorra Island became a factory of horrible cybernetic experiments and illegal technology (see Hunter-Killers). When John Colt was overthrown, Kaizen Gamorra returned to power.
Shunning biological experiments for old fashioned terrorism, Kaizen launched an attack on three major cities of the world, only to be defeated by The Authority. Kaizen has since returned to the global stage, only this time with promises of more legitimate political behavior.

History:
- 1929: Kazien, Sum, & Wai Gamorra are born on Gamorra Island, then called Parousia Island. (The Authority Vol 1 #1; This conflicts with information given previously in Deathblow & Cybernary, stating that Clan Gamorra created the nation in the 1500s, however, it's possible that the two Kaizens (the genuine article & the imposter Yon Khol) wrote two different histories for themselves and their citizens. WildStorm Universe '97 Sourcebook #3 lists Kaizen's year of birth as 1924)
