History
The sovereign island nation of Xaviera was established at an unrevealed point in the future by the U.N, General Assembly Resolution GSXM1 to serve as a homeland for all mutants. Xaviera was presumably named in honor of Professor Charles Francis Xavier.
When Xaviera was first chartered as an independent states for mutants, the country served as a beacon, signaling a renaissance in Homo Superior arts, technology and politics. It was viewed by many to be the fulfillment of a dream. But a dream with an expiration date.
As mutants began to die off without propagating new ones to take their place, the population thinned, becoming vulnerable. Eventually - inevitably - the small island was invaded. The U.N. was unable or unwilling to intervene. And now the first mutant country's four remaining mutants (Anole, Diamondheart, Graymalkin, Ink, Wolverine) live as neighbors with their invaders.Points of Interest
