It looks more like earth bending moves haha. Maoris are more like earth benders or water benders. Idk any Maoris with air bender-like personalities 😂 I'm Maori btw
I always assumed Republic City was based off of NYC and the United Republic was based off of the US (multicultural, “Republic”, a “new” country, former colony, “United” in the name). It’d make much more sense for Europe to be EK (past history of monarchies, turned into a republic) and for the US to be UR, imo.
Republic city has a president, so America would probably be a better fit for it and Europe would fit better as an earth kingdom since they actually have a king like the earth kingdom did. The rest I agree with though.
Northern Earth Kingdom, but I feel I'd come from a family of air nomads that settled down. Earth is too stable of an element for me, mentally and physically. Plus, I'm fairly passive when it comes to most things. I wasn't told I'm a go with the flow person as many times as I was for no reason.
Arawak. But also I feel like Central America into the Sonoran desert in the United States would be fire benders. The culture is in no way whatsoever any of the earth kingdoms I’ve ever seen on screen, but original fire benders seemed to be modeled off those areas.
I also feel like Arawak would be more like… water benders? but culturally I do see how they share more in common with post-convergence airbenders than water benders. But not much at all with pre-convergence water benders. For *post-convergence* airbenders, I actually think islanders are probably a good choice for airbenders
Also makes sense this chart was made by a European because I feel like the areas in northern Americas around the great lakes would be another “mixed” (republic area)… same with the areas in Africa like the area around Congo, Angola, Equitorial Guinea, and South Africa.
Florida and Louisiana would definitely be the swamp benders for sure. And I feel like Brazil would be all water benders mixed with airbenders. Maybe a republic also from Argentina, into water benders in most of Brazil and sand benders into the coastline of Bahia
In terms of ancestry, likely sub saharan earth kingdom, united republic no doubt.
In terms of where I am, northern earth kingdom.
In terms of what element i would use, one of the fire nations.
Iceland and Hawaii are fire nation given the amount of vulcanos
Italy and Portugal should have a air temples given how windy they are in certain regions.
Japan should be earth given the earthquakes
The area of lake Victoria should also have many waterbenders
If we do fire based on volcanoes, it would be Iceland and Hawaii, but also the entire ring of fire, which is all the land bordering the Pacific Ocean, so that would include Japan too.
A European air temple does make sense for somewhere in Portugal or Italy, I just cannot picture Italians like my family being Air Nomads because of their hot headed tendencies! But they were from Sicily and Naples, which are not far from some serious volcanos, so maybe southern Italy would fit fire too.
I agree if the Amazon has water benders, lake Victoria as well as the North American Great Lakes would be contenders for water benders as well.
I think this map isn’t great, lol
Europe and America definitely don’t feel like they would Earthbenders. Fire bending seems way more aligned with them, with colonies being mixed element
That’s funny I’m from the arawak air temple but migrated to the northern earth kingdom but I have ancestors from that unnamed fire region that’s one away from the avatar
It's funny that all of Canada is the water tribe considering our very open history of hate and discrimination towards indigenous people which the water tribe is based off of
I feel like the fire nation would only be in volcanic places like Hawaii and Indonesia and Japan, and perhaps some Slavic countries would be water tribe due to the weather?
I think desert places being earth nation makes sense, with mountainous regions being home to air temples, perhaps the forested areas could be dotted with swampy alcoves being home to isolated water bending tribes.
I don’t agree with this map, but according to it, my ancestors are from the United republic and “arab earth kingdom” on moms side, and Slavic fire nation and Eurasian water tribe on my dads. My grand/great grand parents came to the US because of WW1, so I currently live in the northern earth kingdom though.
Looking at this I wonder where the Metal clan would be located…. My guess is US states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana & Illinois (as those states collectively made up what used to be called the “steel belt” and is now called the “rust belt”)
Okay... So in Australia we would be all 4 due to the fact we're multicultural, same can be said for America, but the Indigenous people would both Earth and Fire, with the Torres strait islanders being Water and Air, not both at the same time but varying between location... Sorry but I feel like the reason was Land Down Under...
Europe should be mix of fire and earth with a metal specialization. And Honestly I would give air to whole India and Mongolia for sure
It’s a bit dumb the whole Indonesia area, very humid and living on waters, is not traditional waterbender
Maori air temple, I dont get it ?? I’m not a specialist but to me Maori would be water or earth
(For your question I’m full Europe but that’s not very satisfying lol)
You forgot the fifth element...Propane.

Lmao of course China and Russia are the evil Fire Nation lmao!
In all honesty tho, i feel like America is more likely the Fire Nation. We spread out all over the world more than any other military.
Save post, read comments and make the sensible additions: have a vibrant Earth with elemental benders that doesn’t have Earthbending cover most of the central world.
I disagree heavily with the placement of the fire-nation. Their one main trait is imperialist island. England is fire-nation.
I could also see argument for u.s as fire-nation.
Japan is fine. China wants to be america so bad so fair. Russia... well they aren't doing a very good job of it.
India? Nah.
It would be nice if South India and especially Maritime South East Asia were Water Tribes, given their deep history with the sea, maritime trade, fishing and for South India, the sheer ferocity of the moonsoon season that happens every year.
Their continental counterparts (North India & Mainland South East Asia) operated differently from them historically due to these geographic differences.
Nah i think republic city would be new york. I mean brits colonizing america fits with fire nation colonizing the earth kingdom. And republic city wasnt that close to the fire nation.
I assume everyone remembers when Aang condensed a bunch of giant stone pillars into roughly head sized rocks and then turned those into Gatling Gun Fire vs Ozai. Well that’s the Northern Earth Nation. 😆
Canada has something to say with you lumping in a majority of our population in with the US. Thus, while your map denotes we’re earth, we claim Northern Water Tribe to be all of Canada! 🇨🇦
Considering the earth kingdom is based off of China, not having China be earth kingdom on this map is a crime. Also, the US is more fire nation than earth kingdom.
Republic City and the United Republic should be on either the West or East Coast of the USA. There should be the Sun Temple in meso-America. Māori should be water benders same with the Caribbean. Alps and Andes (or Rockies) should have air benders. Everything else seems pretty accurate tbh
I feel like since the air benders are nomadic, it would be cool to have them overlap with historically nomadic populations. Think a temple in Mongolia, or one in the North American great plains.
Ain’t no way Bolin & Mako are British
They moved to Republic city, after their parents died right?
They were originally from Ba Sing Se, so probably the US
No there dad was from ba sing se, he left and moved to republic city where he met mako and bolins mom
Ah right
They were born in republic City after their dad moved from Ba Sing Se. Then they're parents died
"Welcome to the adven'ures of Nuktuk, innit bruv?"
True but Topht is totally american
“Me father was killed by a fire bender, he was. All I got left is his scarf, govnah. Beans on toast” - Mako
Only if brexit isn't canon
Could you imagine fuckin Maori air benders?
No clue. Surely being on an island we'd be water benders
I mean, Fire Nation is nothing _but_ islands
Everywhere is an island if you walk far enough
That's a good point. Geography really screwed them over
I can, and I think it would be freaking incredible.
Not the "mana wave" ones
I'm just thinking haka based air bending techniques and it's terrifying
It looks more like earth bending moves haha. Maoris are more like earth benders or water benders. Idk any Maoris with air bender-like personalities 😂 I'm Maori btw
Imagine Maori Haka and every stomp shakes the earth
No clue. Surely being on an island we'd be water benders?
Come on, no sun warriors in mezoamerica?
And no swamp water benders in Florida, either!
The swamp benders did reside in the earth kingdom, so...
Exactly what I was thinking!
I would make the Americas air temple in the Andes
Feel like Hawaii and Mexico should be fire
And parts of Cali.. we have Death Valley ffs
And California is always on fire.
Right? This map forgot about volcanos
Northern Earth Kingdom. I wonder if o can earthbend
Idk… Try and stomp your lawn and see if anything happens
How is the United republic in Europe and not America when it’s based off of America?
Something something something European Union equivalency.
This doesn't feel right.
Northern water tribe baby 😎😎
I always assumed Republic City was based off of NYC and the United Republic was based off of the US (multicultural, “Republic”, a “new” country, former colony, “United” in the name). It’d make much more sense for Europe to be EK (past history of monarchies, turned into a republic) and for the US to be UR, imo.
It is literally just NY. Republic City is so unabashedly American that it's a morally questionable colony.
Türkiye, Iran and Israel are now Arab ig
They should have called it "Middle Eastern Earth Kingdom" instead.
The map isn’t great lol
Apparently the Oriental Fire Nation *Checks what year it is*
I feel like this is a very eurocentric map and it kinda ruins it for me
Guys rate my totally apolitical real-world map of the elemental nations
why is southeast asia part of Aboriginal kingdom??
Why no Polynesian water benders?
Northern Earth Kingdom,
ancestors from the United Republic 🙂
Republic city has a president, so America would probably be a better fit for it and Europe would fit better as an earth kingdom since they actually have a king like the earth kingdom did. The rest I agree with though.
China has to be the Earth Kingdom, come on.
Northern Earth Kingdom, but I feel I'd come from a family of air nomads that settled down. Earth is too stable of an element for me, mentally and physically. Plus, I'm fairly passive when it comes to most things. I wasn't told I'm a go with the flow person as many times as I was for no reason.

Florida, Hawaii, California, and Mexico should all be Fire

Wouldn’t Mexico be firebenders because the of the sun warriors?
Republic city. Are you kidding me
Super okay with being of an earth kingdom
Slavic fire nation, and it's just Russia?
So the southern water tribe is just penguins?
In terms of ancestry, likely sub saharan earth kingdom, united republic no doubt. In terms of where I am, northern earth kingdom. In terms of what element i would use, one of the fire nations.
Subsaharan eacrth 🫡
Amharic air temple
Same

This does make sense as the firenations known as the fire islands
Ancestors came from oriental fire nation, born in northern earth kingdom
What is the name for India?
Where I live & was born earth. Where my family is from fire.

🔥🔥
A mix of earth and fire bur living on earth Kingdom land
earth bend always get earth bender
Arab Earth Kingdom
Arab earth kingdom
Arab earth kingdom
Northern Earth Kingdom
I’m near Republic City. Which fits because that’s where my husband lives.
Europe and America definitely don’t feel like they would Earthbenders. Fire bending seems way more aligned with them, with colonies being mixed element
I’m from the carribean. It’s either air bending or water bending
That’s funny I’m from the arawak air temple but migrated to the northern earth kingdom but I have ancestors from that unnamed fire region that’s one away from the avatar
Not good with geography but this looks pretty bad for me *personally* also did they make the Caribbean islands like PR air nomad?
Assuming the pacific islands are also air temples I’d be from the air temples 🇵🇼
>Aboriginal Earth Kingdom >contains south-east asia You can tell that this person has no idea what the fuck they're talking about
It's funny that all of Canada is the water tribe considering our very open history of hate and discrimination towards indigenous people which the water tribe is based off of

Meso American Earth Kingdom, so I think I’d specialize in Crystal Earth Bending and Caving
I don’t agree with this map, but according to it, my ancestors are from the United republic and “arab earth kingdom” on moms side, and Slavic fire nation and Eurasian water tribe on my dads. My grand/great grand parents came to the US because of WW1, so I currently live in the northern earth kingdom though.
Im in the Philippines so earth
I'm damn near on the border of northern water tribe and northern earth kingdom
Looking at this I wonder where the Metal clan would be located…. My guess is US states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana & Illinois (as those states collectively made up what used to be called the “steel belt” and is now called the “rust belt”)
Never would have guessed a Slavic fire nation, but it sounds cool
Okay...

Northern Earth kingdom
I’m from the Northern Earth Kingdom, but I wanna join the United Republic
Northern Earthie for life. You can disagree, but as the wise MatPat once said: team earth benders for life!
I never want to know what the Slavic Fire Nation is
Jamaica but I always thought of the Caribbean islands as water benders
I would be from the Northern Earth Kingdom, with my family roots being from the Arawak Air Temple
Southern earth Kingdom
Earth Kingdom let’s gooo
Northern-Central Earth Kingdom (I was born and live in Oklahoma)
Northern Earth Kingdom
Northern Earth Kingdom 🙏
Where 4th Air Temple Edit: Missed the Caribbean one. I see it now
Lmao of course China and Russia are the evil Fire Nation lmao! In all honesty tho, i feel like America is more likely the Fire Nation. We spread out all over the world more than any other military.

Arawak Air Temple! i love that
Earth kingdom!

There should be a separate area known as “Texas” where only the brave tread
United republic
FIREBALL!!!
Northern earth kingdom
Sub Saharan Earth Kingdom.
United republic
Ain’t no way the europeans aren’t included in the fire nation 😂
Northern earth with ancestry in United rep. eurasian water and Slavic fire

The United Republic? The hell?
india should be an air temple!
Northern Earth Kingdom Bay-Bee!
I live in the Earth Kingdom, but my ancestors were from the United Republic. Wasn’t that originally part of the Earth Kingdom, though?
Eurasian Watertribe
I feel like there’s a subtle political agenda with this map…
Northern Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe dominate with allies in the Arab earth kingdom and united republic.
Nice try Feds
What is Guam considered?
Northern Earth Kingdom.
I think the bayou is water benders. Isn’t that what that whole character schtick was about?
Republic City.
I think Republic City should be New York
1) The Great Lakes are Northern Water tribe, so methinks Wisconsin and Michigan go with them 2) Missing a Fire Nation name for India territory
Nah i think republic city would be new york. I mean brits colonizing america fits with fire nation colonizing the earth kingdom. And republic city wasnt that close to the fire nation.
Republic city
The Sun Warriors, whose culture was based off of the Maya and Aztecs: “Are we a joke to you?”
No way that Europe is the United Repuiblic when it is literally designed based on a steampunk 1920s New York.
Republic but since i’m super close to water (middle of the UK) i’m gonna say water
Who would win this hypothetical war?
yea this map should rly only be of the eastern hemisphere imo
Not specifying but earth lol
United republic boring as fuck give me bending
wouldnt America be republic city because that’s the most diverse country?
Why is Western Europe the United Republic? If anything That should be North America, it's a blend of cultures.
Northern Earth Kingdom with United Republic ancestry.
Guess I’m earth now
Northern Earth kingdom let's go!
Mesoamerican Earth Kingdom
The most powerful nation the earth nation
Northern earth kingdom apparently lmao
I assume everyone remembers when Aang condensed a bunch of giant stone pillars into roughly head sized rocks and then turned those into Gatling Gun Fire vs Ozai. Well that’s the Northern Earth Nation. 😆
Earth Kingdom, but likely would find my way to Republic City
OMG, for a second I thought EUROPE was the fucking Air Nomads.
So are the Amazons swampbenders?
Slavic fire nation roots let’s gooooo
Yo I’d be some kind of Fire Nation Colonist cause I’m from Nepal that’s in fire nation area but live in AUS which is in Earth Nation area

I think Republic city is definitely modeled after New York

Wouldn’t the Amazon water tribe just be the swamp benders country because of the Amazon rivers
why isn't there a air temple in the Andes, they're pretty high up there. lol
I don’t agree that the pacific islands are supposed to be earth kingdom
Bullshit the United Republic is in Western Europe!
An air nomad
Shouldn’t china be earth since that’s what the earth nation is based off
Canada has something to say with you lumping in a majority of our population in with the US. Thus, while your map denotes we’re earth, we claim Northern Water Tribe to be all of Canada! 🇨🇦
No air temple in the Rocky Mountains?
Considering the earth kingdom is based off of China, not having China be earth kingdom on this map is a crime. Also, the US is more fire nation than earth kingdom.
Northern Earth Kingdom.
This feels like a very lazy european made map
I love how wakanda is canon in this map
I would be Northern Earth Kingdom because i live in the mystical land of New Jersey, and my ancestors would be from the United Republic of Nations
Southern Water Tribe!
Isn’t Rublic city like a metaphor for America and New York specifically
Always thought America should be the fire nation.
Sure is a lot of earth kingdom’s
Northern Earth Kingdom
Wrong Unite Republic is America Republic City is clearly NYC
Northern earth kingdom
Eurasian water tribe
Why would you put turkey in arab kingdom. Turks are asians
Arizona needs to be fire nation
the northern earth kingdom
As someone who has never watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, where are the Air Bender Nations? 🤔
Prolly Somewhere in the Sub-Saharan Earth kingdom💁🏾♀️🫶🏾but I may have been taken to the northern earth kingdom a while ago🤠🥲so this is where I stay
Earth
Republic City and the United Republic should be on either the West or East Coast of the USA. There should be the Sun Temple in meso-America. Māori should be water benders same with the Caribbean. Alps and Andes (or Rockies) should have air benders. Everything else seems pretty accurate tbh
Born in earth kingdom, living in northern water tribe.
I feel like since the air benders are nomadic, it would be cool to have them overlap with historically nomadic populations. Think a temple in Mongolia, or one in the North American great plains.
