Themyscira

Themyscira is an island archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea that is home to a race of immortal beings known as the Amazonians, blessed by the Greek goddesses. Meant as a place of refuge for the Amazonians and a place of learning and peace, the island was initially isolated by a magical barrier that concealed the original island from outside eyes by a perpetual blanket of clouds and fog.

Standing as a doorway to the underworld, the island is a nexus of magic which Brainiac hopes to claim in his conquest of Earth and the Multiverse.

 * The island is named after the mythological city of Themiscyra; the capital of the Amazon tribe in Greek mythology.
 * Before the Infinite Crisis, Themyscira had an embassy in New York before it was shut down while the Gateway City Museum of Cultural Antiquities possesses a major exhibit showcasing the Amazonian nation.
 * The metal Amazonium can only be found on Themyscira, this metal is used in alloys to create extremely strong and lightweight armor. Wonder Woman's bullet-proof bracelets are made of an Amazonium alloy.
