Why? Victor is corrupt! Oppressing! He does not care about us! He only cares about getting paid and keeping his job. UNLIKE the beloved pineapple.

So for the longest time (and extending somewhat into the now) the European island nation of Zandia has been something of a pariah state for a couple of reasons. 1 being that its government and laws were under the very strict control of the violent "Church of Blood" well into the modern day. The second being that, because of the "rule of the strongest" principle espoused in the Church of Blood's ideology, the state has functionally been an anarcho-state since the beginning of last century if not before. And not the nice kind with communes and mutual aid. No I mean the mad max kind where crime lords and psychopaths and the Church of Blood's own murderous zealots had their lay of the land simply because no one could stop them individually. With that in mind Zandia has always towed the propaganda line that "metahumanism is not a crime". As some sort of progressive whataboutism when in reality what they MEAN is that the nation has been a haven for supercriminals the world over. Zandia has no real police force and because a supervillain is always more than able to overpower the Church of Blood's executioners then by the Church of Blood's own teachings they have every right to do as they please inside the nation's borders. (No, I do not know how this nation actually functions day to day save that it's propped up almost entirely by the sanitized international Church of Blood scamming suckers out of their life savings for their alpha male, return to tradition, prosperity gospel BS) With that in mind, the Zandian Olympic team decided, on Air Bud logic one assumes, the there's no actual rule AGAINST metahuman super criminals being entered into the Olympics that they could just use that loophole to violent rig the games in their favor. They even succeeded in breaking the arm of US Archery contestant Tina Thomas the night before the opening ceremony, though they still lost to her teammate Cissie King Jones who took home the gold. The rest of the team was disqualified when it turns out that while there is no rule about entering metahumans or criminals into the games, there ARE rules about flagrantly threatening and assaulting opponents. The entire team was flattened by Young Justice and the Justice League and either scattered to show up later or got carted off to international prison someplace.
