Land of Oceans

The Land of Oceans (海の国; Umi no Kuni) was a country on the Eastern Frontier that was noted for its lack of a ninja village. Instead, it was protected by mercenaries, hired by rich merchants that make the country their home. The Land of Oceans, located on a peninsula to the south, enjoyed great prosperity through commerce. It was most famous for its entertainment districts, especially in the performing arts, and as a tourist attraction. The leaders of the Land of Oceans, consisting of the ten most wealthy merchants of their expertise, have generally avoided participation in the Eastern Frontier Civil War, due to having no hidden village, though skirmishes have occurred on the borders of the land.
