Nanjiakuran Land

The Village of Nanjiakure
Nanjiakuran Land is not strictly a nation, per se. The village (or, considering it's current size, more accurately, city) of Nanjiakure is in control of much of the surrounding area. After this amount of land had surpassed a certain distance from the edges of the village/city, it was determined by the council members that in order for respect to be gained, they must have a name for the land mass that's center was Nanjiakure, and contained several small outlying villages.

Much debate went into the name. Many names were proposed. Some thought that they should follow the example of other, larger nations, and name it after one of the natural elements. However, Time itself is all elements. Comparing Time to one single element quickly proved to be as impossible as it would be to compare Space (or all that is) to one single element. The Great Lord Nanjiakage, Ajna Anahata Sahasarara proposed that the nation be named "Nanjiakuran Land", for that is all it is, Nanjiakuran Land, or, to paraphrase his lengthy speech (for he is quite fond of oration, if not nearly as good at it as he believes), Land that belongs to the village of Nanjiakure. Just as a citizen of Nanjiakure is Nanjiakuran, so too is the land outlying the village Nanjiakuran. The people in the outlying villages (and, in one or two cases, cities), were Nanjiakuran by default.

This is but one unfortunate example of the Great Lord Nanjiakage's self-described madness. He also has bought a suprising amount of the throughly useless 1,500 ton, German designed, Landkreuzer P 1500 Monster Tanks:
