The four nations on the map of Earth
Here’s what I imagine our world would look like if we had the 4 nations! I chose Europe for the fire nation bc of their colonial history. The Earth Kingdom as Afro-Asia since it is the largest of the 4 and features a large desert(the Sahara desert as the Siwing desert). The water tribes are at the poles just like in the show and encompass the Inuit tribes that inspired the water tribe people. The Amazon rainforest is the foggy swamp. The air temples are scattered in different corners of the globe in areas of high altitude. The area where the Aztec, Maya, and Inca empires were is the location of the sun warrior tribe as they are heavily inspired by them. And lastly, the US is the united republic from the legend of Korra since it was once a fire nation colony and NYC is Republic City. Let me know if you agree and what nation you would be part of!
