Land of Wind (Earth-2213)

The Land of Wind is one of the five great nations of the Shinobi World. It is located to the southwest of the Land of Fire, which it borders, as well as the Land of Rivers and the Land of Storms. The nation is currently led by the daimyo Yun. It is the second biggest nation, covering a vast realm that includes the Si Wong Desert, though duo to this it has little productivity.

Description
Duo to the scarse rainfalls through the years, the peoples from the Land of Wind live in villages and towns built across the oases of the Si Wong Desert, which ensures large populations despite the country's harsh climate. The Land of Wind is currently the main ally with the Land of Fire, and both countries share numerous trades.

In the ancient past, the Land of Wind was home to the kingdom of Roran, which served as the capital for the realms established by Chin the Conqueror across the west.

Also known as the "Desert of the Dead" the Si Wong Desert is the driest and hottest environment in the shinobi world, featuring miles and miles of barren sand. It was home to the largest library in the world before it returned to the Spirit World.

Very few are mentally and physically able to survive and trasverse through the deadly sands of the Si Wong Desert for extended periods of time. Some desert-dwelling peoples, like the sand tribes and beetle-headed merchants, have been able to adapt to the hostile environment. However, even they found themselvews victims of common problems of the desert such as starvation, dehydration, and skin cancer. While mostly barren, the ecosystem of some parts of the desert consists of cacti and few scavenging species, such as the gilacorn and the predatory buzzard wasps and sand sharks.
