Map of all Nations on Planet Cray
The Nations (国家 kokka) of Planet Cray are similar to the countries of Earth. They have clans to represent themselves. There are many different races on Cray as well, which form these clans.
The nation used to not be an important part in terms of gameplay, but even so, it was still a characteristic seen in almost every card. On cards from before the 
series, the icon of a nation appeared printed at the right of clan and races in the cards.
New map of the Nations 3000 years later of the original Timeline Cray.
Starting from series, which takes place 3000 years after the events of the original Cray's timeline, most of the nations have been reformed into new nations. For gameplay purposes, nations now take the place of clans where the player's deck only contains cards from one nation.

Gained Clans and Nations[]
During deckbuilding and in gameplay, being part of specific Chakrabarthi Divine Era nations will also treat the card as being from the respective pre-Chakrabarthi nation(s). Furthermore, a card that is from a nation and does not have a printed clan, will automatically be part of all clans associated with the nation. This is to ensure that Series cards and Zeroth and Progenitor Dragons properly work in the Premium format. The exact clan/nation gains operate as follows:
| Nations | Associated Clans | |
|---|---|---|
| Keter Sanctuary | United Sanctuary | Royal Paladin |
| Oracle Think Tank | ||
| Angel Feather | ||
| Shadow Paladin | ||
| Gold Paladin | ||
| Genesis | ||
| Dragon Empire | Kagero | |
| Nubatama | ||
| Tachikaze | ||
| Murakumo | ||
| Narukami | ||
| Brandt Gate | Star Gate | Nova Grappler |
| Dimension Police | ||
| Link Joker | ||
| Star Gate | Etranger | |
| Stoicheia | Zoo | Negacolony |
| Great Nature | ||
| Neo Nectar | ||
| Magallanica | Granblue | |
| Aqua Force | ||
| Lyrical Monasterio | Magallanica | Bermuda Triangle |
Notes[]
- Nations in the first column gain the nations in the second column, but not vice-versa.
- For example, all «Dark States» cards are also «Dark Zone» cards, but a «Dark Zone» card is not automatically a «Dark States» card.
- Only a card's printed nation is referenced when gaining clans.
- For example, both «Stoicheia» and «Lyrical Monasterio» gain the «Magallanica» nation, but they don't gain the same clans. A card with «Magallanica» as its printed nation would instead gain all three of its associated clans.
- «Brandt Gate» cards do not gain the «Etranger» clan.
- A card's printed clan has no impact on which nations the card is part of. For example, a card with «Stoicheia» as its printed nation and «Aqua Force» as its printed clan still gains both the «Magallanica» and «Zoo» nations, even though «Aqua Force» cards do not normally belong to «Zoo».
- Cards from a collaboration nation gain the clan with the same name. Outside of «Touken Ranbu» and «BanG Dream!», these clans only exist to let the collaboration nations be played in the Premium format.
Trivia[]
- According to the lore, the nations were split into six following the initial defeat of the Zeroth Dragons. This is why <Zeroth Dragon> race cards belong to a nations instead of clans.
