* Although ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' comics are one of the best-known examples of this trope, the video game adaptation for UsefulNotes/PlayStation strays away from this by having the player take back the Gaulish territories.

* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheSeasons'': Downplayed. The village itself has no playable characters among its citizens, but despite their size, they have the funds to hire and outfit powerful mercenaries. Said mercenaries are capable of fighting off Frinch's army, Aldwol's alien invasion, and Matria's hellspawn army.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenonauts}}'': Earth is the Undefeatable InsignificantLittleBluePlanet. [[spoiler:This is not a good thing because the alien invasion force represents only those of a two-bit warlord in a [[FeudalFuture feudal]] alien empire the size of a galactic arm. It's a tiny portion of the aliens' overall strength. Even if Earth beats E.T back ''this'' time, they'll come back... again and again and again until they overwhelm us and win. So Earth's scientists come up with the solution to develop a device that blocks the aliens' [=FTL=] drives, ensuring that future invasion armadas would have to go the slow way. This would be exorbitantly costly for the aliens and hopefully act as a deterrent.]]

* The tiny Korean village of Sinanju is this in the ''Literature/{{Destroyer}}'' novels, despite being a dreary, squalid little place, full of dull, lazy, not-so-bright people. Being the home of the world's most dangerous line of Assassins counts for a ''lot''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'': Pop Star is a lush, idyllic planet in a backwater corner of the universe that periodically comes under attack by {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, {{Evil Sorcerer}}s, warlords, and others, all seeking to conquer it or plunder its resources. Pop Star is also home to Kirby, a tiny pink puffball described as a being of infinite power, and his friends are no slouches themselves. Each game usually ends with the villain(s) dead along with their entire power base, aside from cases of DefeatMeansFriendship, as Kirby is a child who doesn't really hold grudges.

* The tiny Carne Village ends up becoming one in ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'', surviving many attacks that should by all accounts have caused its destruction (first thanks to the intervention of the VillainProtagonist, later thanks to the ingenuity of the inhabitants and the gifts he left them).

* Very cruelly [[spoiler:exploited, then]] subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}''. The game's plot starts with the {{Evil Overlord}} Kyros' {{Elite Mook}}s apparently being stymied by a few of these, but it was caused more by [[DividedWeFall the infighting of the commanders]] than any martial ability on behalf of the rebels of Vendrien's Well. Impatient at their incompetence, the EvilOverlord sends the {{PC}} with a massive magical nuke that will kill everyone in the valley, including their own armies and the rebellion. If the PC doesn't intervene, [[NonStandardGameOver the nuke will go off, easily eliminating the PC and everyone in the valley]]. What's even worse is how the game implies that the EvilOverlord [[spoiler:deliberately engineered this trope to justify killing off those two politically inconvenient armies with a YouHaveFailedMe]].

** Nobody except [[BloodKnight Legate Lanius]] dares to mess with the Boomers, considering they're inhabiting Nellis Air Force Base and thus have howitzers, assault rifles, missile launchers, '''mini nuke launchers''', and eventually [[spoiler:a WWII bomber]] on hand, and blow anyone who tries to approach them to bits.

While Lanius is capable of eventually defeating them, [[PyrrhicVictory he incurs massive losses doing so]].

* ''ComicBook/BlackPanther:'' Wakanda usually is a HiddenElfVillage or an AdvancedAncientAcropolis, but on the occasion anyone does try invading them, they tend to regret it. Very, very briefly.



* Seeking the supersoldier Frank Simpson, [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Captain America]] seeks the hidden village of Saloth, in Vietnam. He finds it, but there are no adult men: just women, children and elders. One of those elders tells Cap that he's not the first big strong guy who's shown up giving orders, but that they defeated all the previous ones and used them to feed the pigs. Cap ignores him as senile... and then discovers the secret: '''all''' the villagers are super soldiers.
