It bothers me that the different nations don't have different cultures

Is that they don't each have their own distinct culture. I think it would be a lot cooler if every nation had its own culture, clothing, customs, art, etc. but there doesn't seem to be much of that. They all speak the same language, have the same race (except hidden cloud since some of them are black) and they all have the same ideals, systems of government and none of them have different religions. The only real differences between the 5 great nations really are the architecture and climate, and climate doesn't even count really since that's geographical and not cultural.

Anyway I think it would have been a lot cooler if the 5 great nations were more culturally diverse, so we could understand really how big of a step it was for all of them to accept their differences and unite against a common enemy. It would have been way cool to see all different sorts of people in a sort of 'cultural melting pot' on the battlefield.

Just my 2 cents.

What are you talking about? They look plenty different.The culture in each village is different, it's just subtle and not thrown right in your face.There's a very important reason each village's politics are almost identicle to the Leafs'.

For example, look at the different ways each village treats their Jins, that's because of their culture.

Little known fact: Konoha is a lot like the U.S in the sense that many different clans or ethnic groups all populate the same area.

...They all treated jins the same. Which basically meant treating them like shit.

Different nations =/= different states.

Besides different states do have different cultures.

Aren't they all like in the same country or continent?

If so I hope part 3 Naruto explores the rest of the world.

You're telling me Naruto, Killer Bee, and Gaara were all treated the same?

...well, yeah basically. Their respective villages all shunned them, but they all worked hard to make themselves be acknowledged and now Naruto is the hero of the hidden leaf, Gaara is the Sand's well-respected Kazekage, and Bee is Ay's adopted family and loved by the hidden cloud.

Besides, treatment of a selective few isn't very reflective and doesn't give much insight into the whole culture.

Another way, the manga could have been more interesting.
