Bialya

Bialya is a fictional country in DC Comics.

Bialya while not specified is presumably based on Libya (a near anagram of Bialya) and other Mid-Eastern countries ruled by military strongmen. It was notably featured in issues of Justice League International as written by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis.

Originally ruled by the bufoonish Col. Rumaan Harjavti, the country was taken over the by the ruthless femme fatale Queen Bee II. She was eventually deposed and replaced by her sister Queen Bee IV, who was in turn deposed.

Under the reign of Harjavti, members of the United Nations superteam known as the Global Guardians became members of the Bialyan military, causing friction with their replacements in the Justice League International.

In the series Young Justice, Red Tornado's adopted daughter Traya Sutton was half-Bialyan. Traya was the victim of hate crime at her private school after a fellow student's parents were killed in a terrorist attack in Bialya. She was rescued from such attacks by her roommate, Cissie King-Jones, aka the former Young Justice member Arrowette.
