Questions
1) Which canon village are you applying for?

Sunagakure

2) Which fanon village are you introducing/creating for the Fanon Canon (if applicable)? For what purpose are you applying for/introducing the canon/fanon village into the Fanon Canon?

Not Applicable

3) Who will be the Kage/Village Head of the village you are applying for/introducing? How did they reach this position? (Be detailed, as this is extremely important) Conquering the village also, inadvertently, means that you have dominion over the entire country; who will be the Daimyō of your country? How will they have attained this position? (If this is taken by a user who is collaborating with you, please ask them to answer this question on your behalf)

Bunbuku Chagama serves as the Kazekage. His methods of having obtained the position are described in detail on his application for the role. The daimyō role is of little importance, as they are merely figurehead leaders in the grand scheme of things, but for the purposes of this application, the role belongs to a descendant of the previous daimyō who continues to live the posh lifestyle of the country leaders.

'''4) Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, what has your village gone through in order to recover from the damages? Include details on the changes in the political systems, deaths of certain key characters from the village in canon (if applicable) and the like. (This does not have to be a considerable amount of time. However, a brief overview of the historical information you have for your village gives the operators a sense that you have thoroughly contemplated the status of your village.)'''

Sunagakure was damaged more economically by the war than it was physically. Gaara continued to reign as Kazekage until dying of a mysterious illness later in life, which lead to the rise of Bunbuku as his successor. His siblings carry on his legacy as elders for the village council. As the smallest village in terms of economy, Bunbuku opened up trade with some of the surrounding smaller countries in order to grow the village's internal economy and lessen it's dependency on the larger, more expensive, shinobi nations. He also ordered a change to the village's Academy curriculum based on the kind used by Kirigakure, as well as incorporating elements from Konohagakure's training regiment: the direct result of this was more battle-ready genin as well as team-oriented squads that increased the overall military productivity of the entire village. By being both the Kage and the jinchūriki, Bunbuku was able to ride Gaara's popularity, while acting a symbol of strength and solidarity for the villagers.

5) What is the technological state of the village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? Any specific equipment or technology that should be noted? How has this impacted on their funding?

Technologically, Sunagakure hasn't advanced at all since the Fourth War, and many of its shinobi still rely on puppeteer tools and weaponry.

6) What is the economical state of the village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? How has this been impacted from the Fourth Shinobi World War as well as the introduction of the World Bank? Are there specific things your village is doing to accommodate for economic loss/gain?

Being located in a desert, Sunagakure's productivity was already lower than the other villages prior to the war. Afterwards, Sunagakure found its economy almost entirely crippled. By the time Bunbuku rose to power it had begun the slow road to recovery. By opening trade between the village to some of the smaller surrounding nations and withdrawing their funds from the more costly larger nations, Sunagakure is at a better point, economically, than it was before the war.

7) What is the population status of your village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? What is your interpretation of the population of the said village prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War?

I have no idea what this question is asking for, but I'll answer it anyways. The overall population of Sunagakure has dwindled since the war ended and is only just now on the road to recovery. Those who remain look to strong leadership for their security and economic interests. The populous is still very wary of the other shinobi villages but they are less xenophobic than they were prior to the previous world war.

8) What is the military status of your village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? What is your interpretation of the military status prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War? How has the military power of your village changed over the course of the years that Fanon Canon differentiates from the war by in terms of its Shinobi populace?

The military has overall improved since the war. Having been able to thoroughly study the other villages during the war, Sunagakure came away with a new understanding. To that end, the Sixth Kazekage even changed the core curriculum of the Academy to reflect these studies, resulting in a more comrade-oriented military with emphasis on readying even the genin for war-like conditions in order to increase productivity of the shinobi forces overall. This is in stark contrast to the much weaker Sunagakure of the war period.

'''9) If you were to have a Jinchūriki within your village, who would that Jinchūriki be and what Tailed Beast would they host? Furthermore, how would they have acquired this Tailed Beast and in what way does this impact the village’s dynamics with other villages? (This question should focus less on the actual capture of the Tailed Beast and more on its effects on allied/enemy villages. However, some detail is necessary in order to make this a valid part of your application.)'''

The Kage, Bunbuku is the jinchūriki, and the details are spelled out in his application.

10) Bonus Question! Is there any other information that you believe is relevant in order for you to gain permission for controlling/introducing the village in the Fanon Canon? If so, please write that down here!
