Malta

Malta, officially known as the Republic of Malta, is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea. Malta is a popular tourist destination with its warm climate, numerous recreational areas, and architectural and historical monuments.

Malta appeared in the season one episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. titled, "The Asset". This was where billionaire corporate mogul Ian Quinn maintained his base of operations, where he could conduct activities that would otherwise be defined as unethical or even illegal in other countries. It was here that Ian Quinn and his old colleague Franklin Hall experimented with the highly unstable Gravitonium compound. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team investigated Quinn's actions and sent their civilian consultant, Skye, to Malta undercover to infiltrate Quinn's organization.
