History
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.
