Fire Country

*The country that gave birth to the first shinobi village. The country that was formed by the blood and sweat of the Uchiha Clan.*

## Geography

A relatively flat country covered in expanses of grasslands and forests. Throughout the dense forests, many rivers and lakes run throughout the landscape. Near the border with the Rice Country, the environment begins to get more rocky with valleys and canyons.

## Government Structure

Once governed by the Fire Daimyo, the shinobi of Konohagakure had dispatched the Uchiha to assassinate the Fire Daimyo and to destabilize the government structure. After the government structure was destabilized, the Konoha shinobi made large promises to the people in the capital and, with those promises, took control of the governance of the Land of Fire. This gave power to the Hokage, the strongest shinobi within Konohagakure.

## History

### Pre-Shinobi History

Having originally started as several territories, with each territory belonging to each major clan, this collection of territories were in constant turmoil with one another with the thoughts of expansion and subjugation of one another. The two largest clans to come to the forefront of history were the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan. Their battles with one another were of bitter hatred for one another. Their constant battling with one another would spill into the territories of the other Clans, bringing them into their conflicts. These conflicts have caused casualties on both sides, as well as collateral deaths from the territories that were dragged into the war.

Fed up with this fighting and the careless deaths, several of the smaller clans began to group together and began to absorbed their territories into a single territory. Through many talks with other of the now-large shinobi clans the majority of the Clan Territories became a single, unified nation leaving only the Senju and Uchiha territories untouched. With the unified Clans, they attacked the Uchiha and Senju Clan during one of their larger battles and brought the two clans to heel. Afterwards, the Senju and Uchiha territories were absorbed into the new unified territory and the Fire Country was founded in PSE 132.

The capital of the Fire Country was placed in where the current-day Konohagakure now stands. This became the political center of the newly established Fire Country and a castle would be built in the center of the capital and a massive stone wall would be erected, turning the capital city in a citadel city. This capital city would be known as the Fire Citadel. Through a rigged process, the first person to originally start the campaign to stop the Senju and Uchiha clashes was named the first Fire Daimyo.

Many years have passed with each Fire Daimyo growing more and more oppressive to those within the Fire Country. Laws were put into place, oppressing those with the ability to use Ninjutsu. It was decided, by the Daimyo and his courtiers that NInjutsu was the crux of the problem involving the Senju and Uchiha and thus the ability to use Ninjutsu was outlawed. Shortly after, the First Fire Daimyo: Hanzo, was assassinated by his wife only to be replaced by someone of a similar mindset, but with more liberal allowance of Ninjutsu -- and someone that is a more competent leader.

Many years have passed and several rules have changed to allow the people of Fire Country more freedoms. However, at the dawning of PSE 7, a new Fire Daimyo was placed into power. One that was cruel and unforgiving. Her name was: Konaguni Sakura, the Sun Empress. She had allowed the weaponized usage of Ninjutsu once more at the cost of the death of all Uchiha. Disliking this,
