Ninja World (Neo's World)

## Ninja World Map

The **ninja world** is also referred to as **Neo’s world**. It is the society in which all ninjas reside and interact in. These ninjas coincide with regular people, acknowledging that ninjas act as militarized combatants to help protect the citizens. The two communities work together in order to keep the world stable through treaties and political leadership.

Much like earth, the ninja world is comprised of continents, which are comprised of countries. Each country is often governed by a political leader known as a “Prince”. And each Prince is the head of all of their respective country’s sects. A sect may only be established if it has ninjas who are able to use energy and are willing to serve in their country’s intergovernmental organizations. If there are no ninjas in a territory, then it is simply known as a town or a city.

Energy was passed down by Hendrix Griffin over one thousand years ago. Though not much is known about how he was able to do so or how the ninja world was beforehand, it is known that Hendrix is a fallen angel. Energy was meant to be used to help better the world, but man’s greed turned it into a weapon to wage world wars.

Since the ninja world was formed by fictional author Nicolas Brown, there is modern technology, despite the era taking place around the 1800’s. Such advanced technology, such as cameras, can also intertwine with energy. The ninja world may appear to be medieval, but its use with modern technology predates its advancements.

## Geography

The authority that governs the whole world is divided into two parts: east and west. They are separated by oceans, with more than ninety-nine percent of ninjas residing in the west. Though not much is known about the east, it is believed to be akin to the Middle Ages.

### Countries

Within the west are countries separated by borders. These same countries are operated by political Princes. Princes do not involve themselves in matters regarding ninjas. However, there is a balance between each country to ensure civil order. Treaties are negotiated regularly to ensure that no one nation becomes too tyrannical.

Each country is named after the element that is most prevalent within its borders. They are known as the following: Land, Gale, Inferno, Electric, and Aqua.

### Economy

There is no main economic entity in the ninja world. Most of the currency in the West is universal. Like in Japan, the currency is known as ryō. The exchange is as follows:

Currency Conversion
 100,000 Ryō
 1,000,000 Ryō

While no other currencies are mentioned, it is implied that ryō comes in the form of coins and bills.

The biggest employers in the ninja world are corporations. It was never stated outright how, but each country has at least one reputable company that helps fuel their economy. A corporation usually has one authorized person to act as its chief executive (either commercially or privately) under the law.

Much like in the real world, ninjas and citizens alike can be rich or poor. Wealth is heavily influential in the actions that take place. As a result, many businesses, countries, and sects use ryō to ensure their territory and its people prosper.

### Sects

Sects are the main focal point and where most events occur in the ninja world. They are akin to cities within a country that ninjas reside in. Those that are in charge of ensuring peace within the sect are “lords”, authority figures that are slightly under a prince. For a sect to maintain its power, it trains its children or their aspiring citizens on how to be ninjas. These ninjas are then sent on missions for money in order to help benefit their sect’s economy. A sect’s main mission revolves around guard duties and soldier work.

Although not every sect has been ventured to, it is believed that there are hundreds scattered across each country. Of these sects, there are five that are considered the main sects due to their thriving economies and powerful military forces. These sects are the Tree Sect, the Rocky Sect, the Sandy Sect, the Aqua Sect, and the Thunder Sect. Sects can be formed by anyone, so long as that individual or group has the necessary resources. An example would be the Dragon Sect, which was formed by Octavius.

### Secret Lands

Apart from countries, undiscovered territories, known as secret lands, exist. These secret lands are where spirit animals reside. They are secret because less than ten ninjas are aware of their existence or know of their exact locations. The known secret lands revealed (or mentioned) are: Kyowakoku Jungle, Mt. Mariah, Trailblazer Island, and Severus Cavern. No individual land is affiliated with the outside world, save the salamanders on Mt. Mariah.

While the locations of most of those lands aren’t known, Kyowakoku Jungle is the land that is written about the most in Earth Falls and Energy Flows. To enter Kyowakoku Jungle is still unknown. But to exit, one must leave through a long grassy pathway that is a several-day's journey. Upon leaving, they’ll pass through a sandstorm that will randomly take them somewhere in Gale Country.
