Land of Waves

is a relatively poor nation, and thus does not have a hidden village. It is an isolated island, but used to be prosperous nonetheless, until Gato set his sights on it. He broke the people's will and monopolized the import/export industry, which was crucial for its economy. Team 7's first mission above D-rank was to this country, and, with the help of Zabuza Momochi and the townspeople, Gato's reign of terror was ended for good. Afterwards, a bridge was built to connect the country to the Land of Fire.

Sasuke Uchiha briefly visits the country in Shippuuden.
