==History==
The island is located off the east coast of Africa, to the north of Madagascar, and has always boasted a high standard of living, an excellent economy, and freedom from the political and racial turmoil that characterized neighboring nations.
However, originally Genosha's prosperity was built upon the enslavement of its mutant population. Mutants in Genosha were the property of the state and children who were positively identified with the mutant gene were put through a process developed by David Moreau, commonly known as the Genegineer, stripped of free will and made into "mutates" (mindless mutant minions) by the use of mind-control collars. Citizenship in Genosha was permanent and the government did not recognize any emigration. Citizens who attempted to leave the country were tracked down and forcibly brought back to the island by the special police force known as Magistrates, and mutant problems were handled by a special group known as the Press Gang.
Upon finding out about the inhumane treatment of mutants in the island nation, and having members of their teams kidnapped by the Magistrates led by Cameron Hodge; Magento and his Acolytes, with the help of The Brotherhood of Mutants and a few 'rogue' X-Men, attacked the island's ruling class and retrieved their people. Hodge was killed in the conflict.
A new Genoshan regime that promised better treatment of mutants was put in place after Hodge's destruction. A period of general turmoil and a number of attacks by superhumans, including Magneto's Acolytes who were unwilling to forgive the former Genoshan government for its crimes against mutants, followed.
The United Nations ceded the island nation to the powerful mutant Magneto, after he demanded an entire mutants-only nation. Magneto and his Acolytes managed to reestablish a modicum of peace and stability only briefly until civil war broke out between him and the remaining human population on the island led by the Magistrates. Magneto eventually defeated the Magistrates and restored order to most of the island, with hold-outs briefly remaining at Carrion Cove before being obliterated.
