New lands/sub forums.

I was always wondering why the land of Iron and other minor nations such as the Land of vegetables weren't added onto the site. I think if their added more mission opportunities will be available since many of the minor nations lack shinobi of their own. This could lead to competition between the villages. If a brief description of each nation is needed I'll be glad to write a few up!

More boards can definitely be added if people request them. If nobody on staff volunteers to write up the description for anything specific that you're looking for, then I'll let you know.

Alright so lemme make a list of the lands I had in mind for adding.
1. Land of Iron
2. Land of Vegetables
3. Land of Valleys
4. Land of Demons
5. Land of Swamps
6. Land of Forests
7. Land of Tea
Would these be all right to add as long as I write up the descriptions?

Here is what I have so far! What you think?

Land of Iron: Testsu no Kuni is a unique nation in the fact that while it doesn't have shinobi it can still hold its own against shinobi powers. In fact for hundreds of years the shinobi nations have left the country alone due to the ferocity of its protectors the Samurai. Despite the fact the Samurai do not use typical jutsu seen in the numerous shinobi they are capable of using chakra. In fact without handseals they can coat their weapons in chakra or even make constructs of chakra provided they have a hilt in their hands. Combine this with their powerful armor and you have a force more than capable of fighting off shinobi. Since they have remained untouched by Shinobi wars their military strength has been steadily increasing over the years making them a force to be feared. They are ruled by a shogun who like the kage of the shinobi villages is the strongest and wisest samurai in the land. His ,or her, title is the Iron Shogun.The land itself has a cold climate and sees snow for the better part of the year. Despite this the land is prosperous due to the fact it is wealthy in the mineral it got its name for. Plus all the snow makes it a great place to go skiing! Just don't annoy the Samurai.

Land of Vegetables: As the name suggests this country is famous for its agricultural prowess. The land here is considered the richest in the known world and in terms of food production this nation could feed the population of two out of five of the "super powers" by itself with some to spare for a few minor nations. For a long time though it has existed peacefully by making a trade agreement with each of the shinobi nations. This string of alliances keeps it safe for invading this nation for if another invasion invaded it could be seen as an act of war by another nation. If that defense fails the country does have a its own national guard. It is a mix match of a smattering of small shinobi clans and some runaway samurai from the land of iron. While capable of defending itself the nation is incapable of attacking others. The land itself has a longer growing season than other nations and has a mild climate with fair weather all year round. If one likes to garden this is the vacation spot to be.

Land of Valleys: The land of valleys is a country with many towns and villages nestled between and beneath many rolling hills. It is a small nation that is constantly in strife. Many warlords battle for supremacy for the land. It is not uncommon for one to crest over a hill and see small armies clashing for control of a valley. The country once had a shinobi village, but once the civil war started the village was no more and the shinobi split amongst the warlords. As the normals soldiers fight jutsu fly over head to wreck havoc among each others lines. No one is sure why the civil war started, but it shows no sign of stopping. If a warlord conquered the others though he'd have control of a land rich in certain ores and would gain wealth via trade.

Land of Demons: Oni no Kuni is a land with a sinister reputation. Demons and evil spirits are said to walk the land here and the only safe havens are the towns guarded by shinobi priests and priestesses. Their jutsu are strange, but there can be no doubt they guard the population against something evil. Be it people disguised as demons or spirits or actual demons or spirits no one as of yet knows. One thing is for certain. Being out of the safety of a town is suicidal. The land is ruled by the priests and priestesses.

Land of Swamps: Numa no Kuni is a a single giant swamp filled with poisonous insects, snakes, giant crocodiles, and other such monsters. Yet, people still thrive their. Many valuable plants and animals can be found in the seemingly never ending swamp. It is also a great place for people to disappear for it is impossible to track anything through the swamp. The ground is too soft and it rains constantly. People could spend years trying to find someone in here and never find them. This nation is ruled by a damiyo and has a small ninja village comprised of many with Suiton and Doton release.

Land of Forests: Mori no Kuni is a country made up of forests with trees so large that that they can contain settlements within them. The nation relies on lumber as its main export and it has some of the highest quality in the world. What makes this land strange though is the fact that the trees grow back astonishingly fast without aid from human. It takes the trees here a third of the time it takes a normal tree to reach maturity. They grow larger too and are surprisingly resistant to fire. The easiest and possibly safest way to navigate the land is by the numerous rivers. Within the forest many large creatures lurk amidst the building sized tree trunks. Mori no Kuni has no official shinobi village, but many clans with a more "natural" theme hide in the trees.

The US canon on samurai should probably not be decided by a description in an FA topic D:

>.> That's how it is in the show. I don't see why it wouldn't be the same here. That's for staff to decide though, so I'm keeping the description the same when ya'll come to a consensus I'll edit it then. I'm going to add a few more lands to the post I made earlier.

as the site's only (that i know of) samurai... I like it ^_^

Although as it does slightly effect my history, can the shogun's official title be "The Iron Shogun"?
