Four Nations In Avatar The Last Airbender
The world is traditionally divided into four nations: the Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. Each nation is unique and associated with one bending technique: waterbending, earthbending, firebending, and airbending. An even distribution of power among the four nations is believed to keep balance in the world, and a fall or increase in the strength of one nation can engender a disruptive imbalance. Here are the description of four Nations:
The Fire Nation is the second largest nation and home to both firebenders and nonbenders, though firebenders were sometimes held in higher respect than nonbenders. It is located on an archipelago of islands located in the western hemisphere of the planet and is the most advanced of the four nations, with steam and gas power. It started out with a huge fleet of industrial war ships, and later on adopted the use of airships into its military. The Fire Nation is also diverse in landscape, featuring many volcanic islands in its archipelago and on the mainland, as well as a tropical climate. It also has the world's most popular vacation spot, Ember Island. The country is an absolute monarchy and could even be called a dictatorship.
The Earth Kingdom is the largest and most diverse of the four nations, comprised of a massive continent in the eastern hemisphere and several islands. The nation's people are strong and proud, with some of them being earthbenders. The Earth Kingdom is extremely diverse, having mountainous, forested, grassland, desert, and man-conquered areas, including the vast megacity of Ba Sing Se. Due to its peoples' bending ability, the people of the Earth Kingdom have created magnificent structures out of stone, such as the city Omashu. The Earth Kingdom was originally run overall as a monarchy, the capital being Ba Sing Se, though some smaller regions and cities have their own rule.
The Water Tribe is a sovereignty of waterbenders and nonbenders. There are three tribes: the Northern Water Tribe centered in the North Pole, the Southern Water Tribe centered in the South Pole, and the Foggy Swamp Tribe located in the Earth Kingdom's Foggy Swamp. Both the Northern and Southern Water Tribes are chiefdoms led by a tribal chief. Though the Northern chief was technically the ruler of both tribes, the South maintained control of its own internal affairs. On the other hand, the Foggy Swamp Tribe seemingly lacks formal political structure, with members in several small settlements functioning without a formal chief.
The Air Nomads, sometimes referred to as the Air Nation, were the collective of the airbender people. Though the people of this nation were nomadic, the Air Nomads raised children and situated their central governments in four monastic temples located at various ends of the globe, two for males and two for females.The four air temples are located on small archipelagos that were Air Nomad land on the tip of mountains and, in one case, hanging under cliffs. The Air Nomads were loosely governed by elder councils, one male and one female, with each council run by a head monk or nun. Their people were extremely spiritual, which resulted in every citizen of the Air Nomads being born an airbender.
