Special Countries
Water Territories
Description: When attempting to enter the Water Country, the Shinobi must pass through this archipelago of islands. Therefore, getting into the Water country requires 2 posts even if an Ocean Bordered Country. Population, Military and Economy are equal to Mizu no Kuni.
Unexplored Lands
Description: These lands have never been Explored. Unlike *Unknown Lands* which have been explored but have no definite country, these have never been explored and it is unknown what is there. Unexplored lands are to the far East, and no Shinobi has ever set foot on there. It is unknown if it is an entirely new continent or several islands. Entrance to these lands are prohibited.
*Unknown Lands*
Description: A pair of 'countries' to the West of the map, which have no Daimyou or ninja village, and therefore no leader. Entrance is prohibited, but people manage to settle there anyway. Because there is no Daimyou, it is not a legitimate country. Islands of this same color are the same, but because they are islands, entrance is not prohibited, but one can expect to find only some villages and fishermen. (Note: RP wise they are inaccessible until a later date. This is because tiny little islands don't need explorers.)
