Also, my choice of countries is based on who was doing superhero/sci-fi/
adventure comics in the silver age period. At least the ones that had 
wide influence later... the logic being that, in a League of 
Extraordinary Gentlemen way, those comics are mainly set in the country 
in which they were written, and if our world is a patchwork of shadows, 
pastiches, and echoes of all those, then these are the countries that 
would see the most net.men popping up.
