Non-Shinobi Nations

Moon Country

The Moon Country is located in a southern sea & includes Crescent Moon Island. The country draws it's name from the shape of the island itself. Due to it's location, the country experiences mild weather & a constant summer state. This helped it become a popular tourist retreat along with it's entertainment & 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.
