Earth Kingdom

Earth Kingdom
>most versatile bending form, can be used to construct cities, drive trains and much more
>largest nation in the world
>diverse people with rich cultures and unique fighting styles (kyoshi warriors, sand benders)
>fertile farmland
>co-invented hot air balloons

Fire Nation
>bending form only useful for destroying things
>lives on shitty volcanic and rocky islands
>poluted water from industries
>citizens lives under tyranical fire lords who throw their lives away in failed wars
>Sozin, Azulon and Ozai actualy thought they could win against all the other nations + the Avatar

how can firefags even compete?

They don't need an outside source of fire to firebend. Which is bullshit

metal is strong.

don't forget that the Earth Kingdom also has all of the best girls too

forgot image

best nation

Didn't the Fire Nation basically have the war won near the end of ATLA. They had basically beaten EK and probably would have stomped the water tribe in time

Firebending meant they could smelt metal and reform it easier than anyone else
They could also use it to burn coal for their vehicles and for airships
Point being Firebenders were more industrialized.

They'd also taken the colonies and gained a stronghold in the Earth Kingdom before anyone even knew what was happening, which was a major strategic advantage during the war

to be fair calling the Earth Kingdom a nation is probably unfair, they seem more like a Holy Roman Empire, than the type of centralized state the Fire Nation is.

The Earth King only really ruled Ba Sing Sae

Best women too.

>two left hands

Doesn't matter, in the end they lost.

and Ozai's plan of burning down the entire Earth Kingdom was retarded

Earthshitters are also communists and are afraid of technological change.

>monarchy
>communists

Yes Ozai's plan was retarded but it sounded like the idea of them winning against all the nations + avatar was impossible when they basically DID win the war until Azula and Ozai went full retard at the end

I mean Earth Kingdom's most powerful city was literally taken down by three teenagers

Call it whatever you want, man.

Ba Sing Se was corrupt, that's why it fell. Keep in mind what happened when Iroh tried to siege the city

like they had technically won the war, but they were quickly realizing that technical victory didn't really mean anything since Earth Kingdom insurgent resistance was just increasing and it wouldn't stop unless they were all dead

This the general problem with conquest, if the conquered population continues to resist the conquest is functionally meaningless

This is the same thread as the last one except it hasn't devolved into a discussion of race/nationalism (yet).

Why not learn to use the catalog before you start making threads?

To be fair user, those firefags had every reason to believe that they could win the war against those nations plus the Avatar.
>Industrialized so they can make war machines and quickly travel the globe.
>Can power those war machines with their bending alone.
>Can produce non-bendable metal structures
>Led by great tacticians
>Captured Ba Sing Se from the inside without losing a single soldier
Hell, Azula even killed the Avatar while he was in the Avatar state and broke the cycle. Well she would have if it wasn't for that magic water.

go home, Shyllamalion

Water Tribe (post war > pre-war) > Air Nation (pre-war > post-war) > Fire Nation (pre-war = post-war) > Earth Kingdom (pre-war > post-war) > United Republic (ever)

>ice savages better than glorious Earth Kingdom

>what is bloodbending

>Bending power that only works on a full moon
>Against dirtniggers who can toss a kiloton of boulder over a kilometer away anyday

very few waterbenders can bloodbend

>superior bending
>comfiest festivals
>spirit portals
>no civil war / warring states nonsense
>best climate
>top-tier system of governance

How can dirtniggers even compete? Oh, that's right, they can't. They can only loot and pillage their capital city while their empire crumbles.

>Ice savages actually believe this
The only intelligent thing the ice savages ever did was keep their women in the kitchen

Nice rebuttal, boulder-brain.

>superior bending
I admit, waterbending is powerful and has many uses but earthbending is still superior. Earth can crush through ice and water, also earthbenders can sometimes bend motherfuck metal

>comfiest festivals
All nations have festivals, water tribe festivals are nothing out of the ordinary

>spirit portals
Is that a good thing?

>>no civil war / warring states nonsense
I think you missed the whole north/south conflict

>best climate
Piss cold and just ice everywhere. Can't even grow any crops. The great thing about living in the Earth Kingdom is the diversity of climates. You have cold mountains in the north, temperate grassland and forests in the west, deserts in the east and a swamp in the south. There's a climate for everyone's tastes.

indeed, and they would never have fuel limitations with the fire bending. no limits on cooking food, heating homes, or boiling water in a steam engine. no limits on fuel for smelting metals, cooking bricks, or making light at night.

>The Earth King only really ruled Ba Sing Sae

Not really. All territories of the Earth Kingdom owed fealty to the Earth King. Elsewise the entire continent wouldn't be called the Earth Kingdom.

This only changed during the rise the United Republic, when the Fire Nation colonies were changed into a recognized nation, which even then for decades was ruled by the other civilizations before becoming independent.

And then of course there was Zaofu, which was it's own autonomous commune.

Indeed.

Yes rnga bran, but don't forget that it was unhinged national proud who contributed to this evil.
We have to destroy the concept that are nationstates, to prevent that this evil ever reapears and we the air nomads will take the leading role in this transformation.
Remember the 6 million airbenders who died in the ovens of the Boiling Rock.
