*This is the only country who's name is the same as it's village
As Kakashi tells us in the the manga: "To the many countries of the continent, the existence of a shinobi village means military power. This is how they hold and maintain advantages over each other. But it's not that the villages rule the countries. They merely stand equal with the country's government. A small island country like the Wave country doesn't receive much interference from the larger countries and may not need a shinobi village. Within them are the shinobi villages: Leaf, Mist, Cloud, Sand and Stone. They are large and powerful and are thus referred to as the "Great Five Shinobi Countries" And these are the only countries who's leader receives the name "kage"."
