:::: It all makes sense if you consider it a pun on Japan's nickname "Wa no Kuni". I'm not an expert on Japanese, but afaik the "no" used in both Wano and Kano isn't the same one used for "of" in English. {{User:AuroraOfDeath/Sig1}} 14:25, December 10, 2015 (UTC)

Ignore the rudeness... This article has no references, it is dated. We cannot have articles like this on the wikia if we want credit as a source for reference. There should never be a reason for anyone to say we failed at anything. One-Winged Hawk 23:19, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Wa or Wano?

Shouldn't the name be Wa instead of Wano!? Because "Wa no Kuni" basically means country of Wa like what Japan used to be called before Nihon became the official country's name. MasterDeva 01:42, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

The kanji used were different, ワノ indeed can be read as Wano instead of 倭 that is Wa... Sorry for the trouble! MasterDeva 05:35, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah um, it kinda would've been best to have somebody else participate in the discussion else before actually moving it. Just because nobody else is talking doesn't mean everybody agrees with moving the page. People either couldn't find the discussion or the appropriate people to discuss the matter haven't logged on yet. Waiting for at least two to three responses could've saved you the trouble of finding out the problem by yourself ahead of time before moving the page.Mugiwara Franky 06:46, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
It sorted itself out so don't think too much about it! ^_^ MasterDeva 08:02, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
  you can actually tell that it IS Wa no Kuni, not Wano, since the kanji used is 和, which we can recognize on the image appearing when they talked about the country, so yeah it should be Wa no Kuni. For the same argument, look the name Ka no Kuni, Ka means flower, so it's the flower country, so you can see the same "no" sound in both names, which makes I strongly believe it really should be the Wa no Kuni, and not Wano. Otherwise, Ka no Kuni should be Flowerno country, not Flower country. the "no" can act as a replacement for the "of" in english, like in "Country of Flowers" or in "Country of Wa". And last but not least, when we have the romanized version of Ka no Kuni, you wrote it as "Ka no", with Ka and no separated, but with Wa no Kuni, you wrote "Wano", with them stick together, that is clearly a sign of something wrong happening with the translations here. Ascheriit (talk)
It all makes sense if you consider it a pun on Japan's nickname "Wa no Kuni". I'm not an expert on Japanese, but afaik the "no" used in both Wano and Kano isn't the same one used for "of" in English. Aurora[1] | Yes? 14:25, December 10, 2015 (UTC)
   Then, logically, it should be Kano Country, not Ka no Country, since it's the same no. But still, why do they show the kanji for Wa then ? On the picture that shows Wa no Kuni, there's the Wa symbol written. Ascheriit (talk)

Foreign Policy

Correct me if I am wrong, but is Wano Country's "closed-door" policy, samurai tradition, flag, and non-affiliation with the WG reminiscient of Japan in like the 1800s or some time? Can I add that? Someone more qualified should probably check this. PX15.. 15:22, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Samurai's

Shouldn't we make a separate page for the samurai's instead of describing them here? The Humaniod Typhoon Talkco
