I can't believe I forgot Waves. It was along southern Fire but I may put it between Fire and Steam, will update tomorrow, thanks for catching that.

To be honest, I've always head canoned the Land of Iron being either where you have Graves or where you have Bears. Primarily because, if Iron was further away, I can't think of a single logical reason why Mifune and Hanzo would have fought each other otherwise.
Iron after all is the neutral Switzerland of the setting and Hanzo's primary focus for a long time was trying to both kick outsiders out of Rain and preserve his own powerbase in Rain. But I can totally see Hanzo during his younger "Ima gonna declare war on all five Great Nations to prove how great Rain is and bring peace to the world" dumbass phase trying to conquer the smaller nations bordering Rain and eventually hitting Iron before the pressures of the Second Shinobi War forced him onto the defensive.

The worlds so unfair, you could be born into the lands of milk and honey but some get stuck in the land of pickling or bears.
If the healing version was us going to our village to a doctor we actually trust, I would think about it, but the option isn't that.
It's going to a random medic, when we took a lot of precautions to not have our kekei genkai revealed.
Better to take the low intensity mission, less risks.

Too minor an injury and not worth the exposure.
After all, even though they might not find out about the Shikotsumyaku in particular then they may still find out that we have a kekei genkai.

Per canon: between 12 and 15 thousand ninja in total. That includes all of the desk jockeys, unattached genin, and chunin are stuck on border patrol and in the sticks.

Image looks broken to me for some reason
The headband marks are on the map because writing all of the village names looked pretty bad, and the numbers didn't look good against a flat background either. Some of the country names have changed, but besides Valleys > Meadows, none of them have yet been mentioned. A key will be posted when I can make it look nice.
Key for now:
Hidden Villages
Country Capitals
The mission vote was just there to determine which you went to first, since the original vote was tied and this way it was more than just the medic vote, which would have led to a probably pretty short chapter.
I know it's in the manga but it's also expanded in the anime filler and I haven't read the War Arc since it came out and I don't remember the filler that well, but I remember them fighting somewhere pretty green, and the Land of Iron is shown to be very cold. I rationalized it by Mifune being hired out somewhere in the South, since for whatever reason, people do still hire samurai. Maybe they're just a lot cheaper or they're easier to keep on retainer.
Pickling is out west so I imagine it's pretty peaceful, shunted off to the side away from the Great Nations' fighting. Also it's named after food so food is definitely plentiful there, and it's a Japanese-based setting so you just know they're pickling everything. So it's basically the Land of Umeboshi, and who wouldn't want to live there? Bears would suck though, yeah, especially with the chakra rock what drains your life force if you touch it from the fillers. That big island north of Cloud probably has it the worst though. Imagine being from the Land of Permafrost, or Wolves, or Icebergs.
Yeah pretty much. I know some people think that those numbers are a little high and I haven't put a ton of thought (that I've bothered to write down) into changing/rectifying/justifying them, but they both agree with the numbers giving by the scale of the Allied Shinobi Forces and allow for large-scale warfare on multiple fronts, which we know the Great Shinobi Wars were. Also all five of the Great Villages are pretty big, even if the number of say, genin teams we see, don't suggest those numbers, other things do like the sheer number of ANBU who constantly job and die. Rant aside, yes, losing say, 1% of your jounin, say ~40 (not saying for sure that there are 4,000 jounin in any village), would be a big deal. Chunin loses would have to be higher, but given the role chunin serve as the villages' backbones, would have more of a cascading effect. Which is probably why Itachi's "generation" was fast-tracked out of the Academy right after the war, come to think of it.
Still works for me, though you made me look at it and realize I'd forgotten Moon. Should be good now.
I'd expect at least one of these to be doing the Iceland/Greenland trick.
I would of expected to have a lot fewer jonin and a lot more genin. The about Ame threadmark has it having almost as many Jounin as Genin seems off, but maybe genin die a lot keeping their numbers down. While outside of war Chunin and Jounin rarely die.

@No Country Have there been any significant changes in Ame and Storms since the annexation of Hane-shi and Birds??

Maybe they merely think them less likely to get up to.. chicanery. Ninja aren't known for being honorable unlike samurai.
You'd think that, but no. The Daimyo are honor-bound to name their countries accurately. Or maybe they're forced to do that. And yes, that includes the weird ones.
Yeah I just threw that number out there. Outside of the ANBU, jounin fatality rates would be pretty low, but their casualty rates would be higher than that of chunin, given the nature of missions they take on solo or in exclusively-jounin teams. Chunin would have decent turnover rate in peacetime (I'm of the opinion there are promotion methods outside the Exams/a lot of smaller, lowercase-e exams), but their nature as the meat of the villages and their ability to take on missions with unclear parameters makes them the most likely to die in peacetime. Genin probably die at about the same rate they're promoted, keeping their numbers pretty stable (2 graduations a year per general fanon, with more than one (lowercase-a) academy per looser fanon, and private tutelege per canon), while most chunin remain chunin once they're promoted.
Also Ame is exceptional with a 5:9:4 ratio of genin to chunin to jounin, the average is probably more like 2:3:1, though take that with a grain of salt because Ame doesn't have to factor in ANBU.
Militarily no, Birds had a very small ninja population and it hasn't been long enough for the children able to use chakra to start graduating. Administratively, yes, but on the civilian side of things. It will mean Ame will be stretched thin if Iwa decides on a full-scale invasion though, since Iwa controls the Land of Stone.
This is also theoretically true, but (I still have to rewatch the movies) the only samurai we see in foreign employ are a couple of completely incompetent goons in the Land of Waves at the very beginning of the manga.
Speaking of Waves, does its new placement make sense to everyone? I think so, because this is closer to Konoha, and it being an enclave is kind of weird, but I'm also fine putting it next to Tea or even Rivers, it's just that it didn't take Team 7 as fresh genin very long to get there.
Also you're all getting a sidestory, and you're going to like it.
Each of the Five Great Villages will have a sidestory soon enough.
If you want to see Ame sidestories let me know, but I like showing Ame through Tsubaki's eyes only. Satou or Juura could make interesting POVs though. Maybe for future chapters...
Also if anyone wants to write one (I know I still owe you a cast list, but I've been on a kick with proper writing instead of the dry stuff, for once), feel free. If it fits, it will go in the sidestories, if not, it can be fun apocrypha.

Wait.... What is that implying about the land of Necks?
Doesn't wave need to be on an island?
