Please take into account while reading the following pages that the figures and data portrayed here are rough estimates based on my own opinions of how the ninja world works.
Short Info pages for those who care detailing basic economical structure of the elemental countries.

Ninja are not heroes with honorable intentions (at least not all of them) they are Killers, assassins who will quite happily deceive you and stab you in the back, trained to be superior to normal humans, tools to do their payers will. Some are stark raving mad others are evil. Many will kill, plunder, rape and do many other inhumane things just because it takes their fancy.

Planet Ninja:
The Ninja Planet consists of three Continents the biggest is the Elemental continent (roughly the size of Eurasian and African continent combined) the next largest continent is the Metal continent (roughly the size of north and south America combined) the last major continent is a nameless continent (approximately the size of Australia). Then there are a few nameless countries scattered throughout the planets oceans varying in size from the smallest island to the size of France or Germany. Even with all this land mass the planet still consists of roughly 75 water and 35 land mass.
The people of other continents tend to ignore each other i.e the people on metal keep to themselves. The same goes for ninja, they rarely, and I mean very rarely venture of their own continent, most are ignorant to the fact that other continents even exist.
The people of planet ninja are oblivious to outer space and notion of other life out in space.

Population Info:
On average a major ninja village will have a population of approximately 500 thousand, with a ninja force of between 10 and 20 thousand.
A small ninja village will have an average of 100 to 300 thousand population with a ninja force between 5 an 10 thousand .
Normal villages are settlements with anything up to 10 thousand population. Normal towns have a population range of anything up to 1 million. There are very few cities in the elemental countries mostly only the capitals of the countries these have a population of anything up to 5 million

Time line and other info:
Modern ninja arts were created approximately 3 thousand years ago by the Six Realms Sage. The first "Great" ninja war took place 10 years before the founding of Konoha. The battle between the Shodaime and Uchiha Madara took place 20 years after founding of Konoha the Shodaime died 1 year due to lingering damage from battle. The second "Great" ninja war took place 15 years after battle at the valley of the end. The Nidaime was killed at the end of the war which lasted 10 years (Konoha is now aprox 45 years old). Sandaime ruled for 40 years at its peak Konoha had a total force of over 25
thousand naming it the strongest Ninja Village. The last 8 years of Sandaimes rain where spent in the third "Great" Ninja war in which Konoha lost just over 10 thousand ninja. Namikaze Minato took position of Yondaime Hokage and ruled for 5 years before being killed in action by the Kyubi. Approximately 7 thousand ninja were killed by the kyubi. When Sandaime took mantel of Hokage for a second time Konoha had a force of just under 8 thousand. When Naruto graduates the ninja force is back up to approximately 13 thousand and increasing.
All current major ninja villages were created approximately the same time give or take 30 years.

Bloodlines:
The three most well known bloodlines are the Sharingan, the Byakugan and the Rinnegan. These however are not the only doujutsu out there in fact there are hundreds of them ranging from incredibly powerful (on par with the three great ones) too incredibly weak ones that are hardly worth mentioning.
The same goes for other bloodlines. There are hundreds of them some strong some weak but all out there.

Ninja Rankings:
E - Beginner Genin
D - Genin
C - Chunin
B - Jounin or normal ANBU
A - Elite Jounin or ANBU Captain
S - Kage level in at least one skill (allot of S class shinobi are usually well balanced)
SS - So powerful that difference in power between people of same level is irrelevant in battle (all people at this level are considered equally strong)
Sannin is not a rank it is a title that means the 3 ninja should be read as San Nin (three Nin)
This is an abbreviation of Dansetsu Sannin. Which translates to Legendary three Ninja.
