Think about the diversity in the Earth Kingdom like the diversity in the U.S. or Canada. The U.S. commonly known as a "cultural melting pot", and Canada has a rich diversity, both being host to many culturally and ethnically diverse peoples, yet remain nations. Also, if the seemingly scattered rule of regions is what you are mainly looking at, I would like to use the U.S. & Canada as an example again: you have the President, Congress, Senators, as well as Mayors in the U.S. and other roles and titles of leadership. The division of states and provinces (Canada even having differing official languages to some); for a foreigner not familiar with any of this, it may seem quite divided, when compared to a nation like China (sort of like the Fire Nation in national structure and encompassing appearance). The U.S. also includes Hawaii and Alaska in their territory as states, Alaski requiring taking a trip through Canada if you drive. The Earth Kingdom's element (Earth) is said to be the element of stability, I believe the creators intentionally desgned the Earth Kingdom this way to emphasize that stability.
