 No, emperor worship in Japan was a cult similar to what Long Feng said to team Avatar ‘’the king is like a god to them’’ since Japanese worshiippen their emperor like a god, and Fire Nation seems to be almost communist about this trait, they are somewhat anti spiritual or use religious men [fire sage] to serve the government… FN cult is more like Maoist cult of personality. Not treating the leader like a complete and absolutely living God.



 And they seem to believe in the Mandate of Heaven system [an leader appointed with an divine right to rule, like Azula said].



 Spreading Prosperity/civilization is something more Ancient Imperial China [Tian Xia – all under heaven] and believing that Chinese civilization was the greatest ever,etc etc

 Than Japanese, since Japan to modernize had to abandon their own way of life AND adopt the WESTERN  model of modernization… not an indigenous Japanese industrial revolution,which is the case of Fire Nation,also in cultural aspects,military,and general role in Avatar World seems to be a mix of Qin Dynasty [military eficiency,civilizing the ‘’barbarians’’ as they would say] with some little hints of Maoist China [industrialization,cult of personality,apparent lack of religiousness]
