THE LAND OF ARTISTRY

Sunagakure is the most impoverished village out of the five majors in the Elemental Continent. For most of the villages' existence, they have been occupied by foreign powers which exploit their resources and people. However, the village maintains some of highest levels of comradery between citizens and serves as a cultural epicentre. Some of the most renowned music, pottery, arts and calligraphy have been produced by the Hidden Sand.

KNOWN HISTORY

This is a tab for the history of Konoha your OC would be told. Some of it may be incorrect according to the servers' actual history.

WARRING STATES

The Land of Wind has had a history of kingdoms and empires attempting to create a centralised village. Many have risen and fell during the Warring States, battles raging across the sands just as they were in neighbouring countries. No matter how powerful or secure the rule, the empires would continue to fall.

However, with the inception of Konohagakure, things began to change. Kanoshita Kaze, a Shinobi not hailing from any clans, assumes control of Shukaku. From the Tailed Beast, he harnessed Sand Release as a Kekkei Genkai, continuing to pass it onto his descendants. The clan 'Kazesuna' was created from this. 

Shukaku is one of the only Tailed Beasts that the given name is known of, found through ancient scriptures burried in the Land of Winds' grainy catacombs. He is believed to be a deity of the Land Mass, worshipped by all. Once captured and maintained, Sunagakure finally united under the rule of the Kazesuna. 

OCCUPATION AND WAR

Prior to the first Great Ninja war, Kirigakure assumed control of Suna. A hostile invasion was launched by the Land of Mist, who had been using their neighbouring nation, the Land of Rivers, as basis for operations. Kirigakure was looking for an expansion of control and territory, occupying Suna from thereafter with an oppressive rule.

Once the war began between Kirigakure and Konoha, Sunagakure was ordered to assist Kirigakure. Suna complied and declared war on Konoha, the war raging on for several years and devastating Suna's already unstable economy. 

At the very end of the war, Tailed Beasts were leveraged as weapons. The current holder of Shukaku, a descendant of Kanoshita, was ordered to nuke Konoha at the cost of his own life. 

Konohagakure would intercept before the Jinchuriki's arrival, preventing major damage to the village, but the nuke would still set-off. Shukaku advanced to the Hidden Leaf but was murdered by a strike team; Konoha's sealing capabilities, at the time, were not potent enough to contain a tailed beast. They had been too reliant on the now deceased Uzumaki.

Shukaku has disappeared since then, the Kazesuna losing power.

MODERN DAY

 With the war ending, Sunagakure was liberated from Kirigakure as part of a peace treaty. While many thought that to be positive, Konohagakure proceeded to assume control of Sunagakure in Kiri's place. Konoha continues to maintain Suna, exploiting it with more diplomatic and covert means as opposed to Kiri's blunt, iron fist methods. 

Many of Sunagakure's population are blind to their mistreatment by Konoha, some believing it is better by comparison to Kiri's time. The Hidden Leaf still leverages the peace treaty against Suna should they object, arguing that it is the fault of Suna for engaging in the war and attempting to nuke their village.

Many of the OCs roleplayed in the server have been born into this occupation, Suna occupied by one foreign power or another for the past 35 years.
