The Great Rice Country Drought is the name of what has become known as the worse drought to hit the country of Denchi no Kuni in the last century. The drought was caused by record low amounts of rain fall between the years 2113 and 2115, causing hundreds of farmers to leave their fields in order to try and provide for their families. Over seventy five percent of the country's population was severely effected, along with above twenty percent losing house and home and forced to live on the streets and starve. Crops died and dried up and once lush fields of green were now unfortunate shades of brown.
Because of the country's heavy dependence on the exporting of rice, the entire economy of Denchi no Kuni went into a spiral, causing business owners and government officials to panic and look for a place to blame. The Kyoukage Resumo Brash, leader of the countries military and government, was blamed for his inability to take action to account for the loss in crops. In addition, his refusal to weaken and/or disband the countries ninja force in order to reallocate funding to feed the hungry people of the country was looked at as a play for power rather than a concern for national security. The approval rating of the Kyoukage plummeted as the hunger of the average citizen rose. Though the ranks of the Otogakure no Sato ninja were thinned due to a shrinking budget, they still were a strong presence in the country.
The city of Otogakure no Sato suffers from a severe case of citizen disobedience, with crime and thievery on the uprise, the ninja of the city have to do all that is their power to just keep the citizens from burning their own capital to the ground.
