The Minor Nations

Tetsu no Kuni | Land of Iron

Ninja Village: None

A frozen and snowy country where blizzards and snowstorms are one’s most common companions. Whenever it is not raging with snowy gales the still is deceitful with its freezing embrace. Yet even with its repulsive weather conditions, the neutral country free of influence is considered a place ideal for negotiations, summits and conventions. Its isolated nature should not be taken for weakness as the country’s military manned by samurai is not to be underestimated.

Yuki no Kuni | Land of Snow

Ninja Village: Yukigakure

A small but peaceful place with cold climate and snow covering most of the land all year round. The landscape is overwhelmed by the tall snowy mountains, huge glaciers and coastline that is inaccessible from the sea due to the endless icebergs. Ironically enough despite high technological advancement the most thriving profession is that of the caravan driver taking people away from the eternal cold.

Oto no Kuni | Land of Sound

Ninja Village: Otogakure

A neighbor to the Land of Fire, the country is mostly comprised of small settlements and endless rice fields which makes most settlers jokingly refer to it as “Land of Rice Fields”. This country suffers from endless wars between factions and despite its tranquil outlook is the least stable and most likely to break out into an all-out civil war between warring factions located within.

Sora no Kuni | Land of the Sky

Ninja Village: None

A flying country of ninja who manage to infuse chakra into mist in order to fly. The country uses a very wide array of high tech weaponry like weapons firing ninja tools at high rate and gliders. The ninja of the Land of Sky are also highly skilled at explosives making them capable of quick aerial raids over enemy territory. In recent times, the country has kept to itself - so much that most younger ninja don’t even know that it exists. Despite its aerial positioning the entire country can fall to the ground if extensive damage is dealt to the flying colossal structure. RP in this location is event-only.

Ninja Village: Hoshigakure

A small time country of forested areas and countless small farm settlements. It has a very small and rundown ninja village inside that is surrounded by a canyon known as the “Devil’s Ravine” that constantly emits poison gas that serves as a natural protection for the village.

Tori no Kuni | Land of Birds

Ninja Village: None

A country located between the Lands of Wind and Earth that is comprised of interconnected resorts and plains, with incredibly warm weather that invites birds to migrate there each year.

Kawa no Kuni | Land of Rivers

Cha no Kuni | Land of Tea

Ninja Village: None

Ko/Ka no Kuni | Lands of This and That

Ninja Village: None

Neighboring countries that were made because of a joke, it is said that a groom once told the parents of his wife that he is actually next in line to rule that Land of This and the Land of That. After the parents died, having never actually discovered the lie the groom built two small settlements close to one another and separated them with a large wall using the money that the family left them. It is unknown what transpires between the two countries, things just sort of happen there making them a living mystery of the ninja world. RP in this location is event-only.

Uzu no Kuni | Land of Whirlpools

Ninja Village: Uzushiogakure (DESTROYED)

Legends say that great treasures and all sorts of historic legacy could be found by those willing to go to the bottom of the ocean.

Tsuki no Kuni | Land of the Moon

Ninja Village: Getsugakure

An incredibly wealthy crescent-shaped island country. It is said that this country and the ninja village inside – Getsugakure - has the greatest and richest economy in the world and it means very little for the locals to spend great amounts of money for the smallest ventures. The prices of the local goods are also through the roof making tourists scratch their heads if they are unfamiliar with the highly successful and pompous ways of life that the locals lead.
