A '''Multinational Team''' is a group of characters with different, emphasized nationalities with an InUniverse [[JustifiedTrope justification]] for this diversity. They are almost invariably the good guys, although the bad guys might [[EqualOpportunityEvil have their own version of a multinational team]]. The trope can occur in works of fiction that do not take place in the present or even on Earth: in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', for example, many diverse people from all over Middle-Earth band together.
