Rain Country The Rain Country is one of the mostly unrevealed lands in the series. The country resembles most of the other countries, with forests dotting the landscape. It is unknown why the country is called Rain; it may be due to seasonal showers which give the region more rainfall than other countries. The country shares borders with Earth, Fire, Grass, River, Wind and Bird. Being centrally located between many of these countries has caused it to be their battleground in past wars. This strife caused the country to adopt strict border control. Any visitors must clearly state their purpose, length of stay and be kept under constant surveillance. This applies even when Rain holds the Chuunin Exams.	0	0
Rice Field Country The Rice Field country is marked by forests and rice fields. The country had been marked by conflict in the past, with wars with neighboring countries taking a heavy toll on its clans like the Fuuma. It was this constant strife that provided the country with enough reason to welcome Orochimaru in the hopes he could make them powerful. The current proper name of the country is unknown, citizens refer to it as the "Rice Field Country" while Sound ninja refer to it as the "Sound Country." The difference arising because of "Rice Field's" filler origin, but inuniverse it could be because the Sound think of it as their country now. The country shares borders Fire and two as of yet unnamed countries.

Grass Country The Grass country contains some of the more widely varried landscapes in the series, with forests, grasslands, mountains, rivers and bamboo thickets dotting it. The country shares borders with Earth, Fire, Rain and Waterfall. Because the country lies between Earth and Fire, it has been in invaded by the Earth Country during previous ninja wars. To avoid Earth gaining a foothold next to the Fire Country border, many Leaf ninja came to Hidden Grass's aid during the war. This resulted in many skimishes taking place within its borders.

Snow Country The Snow country was a small and peaceful country constantly experiencing winter. It went through a period of hardtimes until the weather control generator was activated, allowing the country to finally experience Spring. The country had been on economic hard times for several years. Daimyou Kazahana Sousetsu was said to have nearly bankrupted the country putting money into the heating generator machinery. Later when his brother Dotou came to power, the country expended even more funds in weaponry development. After the removal of Daimyo Kazahana Dotou, his niece Kazahana Koyuki rose to power and the country began to flourish once again. The usage of the generator appears to have warmed the valleys of the country, allowing them to experience warmer climates. The surrounding mountains still retain snow however.

Craftsman Country Takumi Village resides in an unknown country. It was founded approximately one hundred years ago by a man named Seimei. Takumi is known for its skills in making weaponry. Many of which are sold to the ninja villages of the world. When the village faced hard times they requested help but they were ignored by the other shinobi villages. Certain skilled Takumi villagers grew resentful and felt the villages didn't respect them for all the help their weapons provided in the past. Village Aerial View	0	0
Bear Country The Bear country is one of the few countries in the world which harbors a shinobi village. The exact location of the Bear Country is unknown but it is marked by many forests and mountains. A chakra-enhancing meteor hit the country-side approximately 200 years ago. Those who found the meteor referred to it as a fallen star. A hidden village developed in the country based around the usage of this meteor's powers. The border of the country is marked by a crevice with poison fumes at the bottom. This crevice and poison helps deter any outsiders from invading and stealing the meteor.

Sea Country The Sea country lies off the southern coast of the Tea Country. The Sea Country itself consists of several islands, Haha the main island, Kikai and Taro. Another island, Jiro, may also fall under its purview. Because the country is an island nation, it relies on the Water Country and its Hidden Mist ninja for protection. It sends weekly gold shipments to the country as payment for this protection. The country is not against help from other ninja nations though, such as Fire. Being an island nation, fishing is one of its chief operations. Unfortunately Kikai Island has long been said a cursed island. Orochimaru established a laboratory there and began kidnapping Sea citizens; this did not help its reputation. Orochimaru eventually abandoned the base and it was later destroyed.

Tea Country The Tea country is a peninsula marked by forests, mountains and fishing villages along its coast. The country itself may also include the O'uzu and Nagai Islands, but this is unconfirmed. It shares one border with the Fire Country, and maintains good ties with its ninja village because it maintains no ninja village of its own.

Moon Country The Moon Country is located in a southern sea and includes Crescent Moon Island. The country draws its name from the shape of the island itself. Due to its location, the country experiences mild weather and a constant summer state. This helped it become a popular tourist retreat along with its entertainment and gambling establishments. At one point the country hired wandering ninja; however it currently maintains no ninja village. A ninja has been shown to wear a headband bearing a crescent moon, but no direct connection to this island has been made as of yet. Royal Palace, Sea Port, City, Beaches	0	0
Void Country The recently explored country which used to be known as the Heart Country, changed. It became a country hidden in shadows and darkness due to a disappearance of the Heart Stone 100 years ago. The stone provided light and joy for the villagers. The country is lead by Yukoti Futurashi, leader and head shinobi of the Village Hidden in Hell (once known as the Village Hidden in the Lakes). They named this village because it is isolated in a large canyon which no one can ever escape from alive. Since the village is in darkness, strange demons, evil creatures, and many powerful criminals lurk around the vast canyons of the country. The canyons used to be full of water, creating large lakes giving it the old name of the village. Few ever enter this country, few ever leave, that is why they use underground tunnels and flight summons that could travel or deliver things. This country is famous for its powerful genjutsu techniques created by the Yukoti clan. The Hell Village is an ally to almost all the countries. Akatsuki's main headquarters are located and hidden deep inside one of the darkest canyons, they control many of the demons and many of the criminals work for them.
