Black Panther's nation of Wakanda is not known for its warlike ways, but if it went to war with the United States of America, it wouldn’t hold back, and in a clash between these superpowers it seems that no one wins. The battle of geopolitics can be as dangerous as any battle between a hero and a villain, and in the Marvel Universe—where there is magic, advanced technology, and super soldiers—that is doubly the case.

The Kingdom of Wakanda is an incredibly advanced but isolationist country ruled by a king who also holds the title of Black Panther. A nation of eighteen united tribes, Wakanda has traditionally stayed out of geopolitics, preferring to allow the world to believe that it nothing more than an underdeveloped country in Africa. However, more recently the country has begun to become part of the international community, even joining the United Nations.
