Okay, first of all, I agree with everything that was said about the necessity of an episode like EIP, and I don't particularly care for the episode. So don't paint with an overly large brush.

But I don't want to argue about whether or not the episode was any good. I just want to point out the sillyness of this "Avatarverse" argument. I don't know how you got it in your head that the Avatar world somehow "is Asia." Legend of Korra is set in "the equivalent of the 1920's," right? That would make Aang's time some time in the 1800's? Well...the Fire Nation (the Japan expy) would not even have the steam engine, as the industrialization of Japan was a response to western powers attempting to open trade with them, and there ARE no "western powers" in the Avatar world. Coincidentally, this would mean you'd also see the Fire Nation Army dressed or starting to dress in more Napoleonic uniforms.

I could go on and on about how the fictional world's political structure from the very first episodes does not support your view of how it "should be," but the point is, Avatar is a fantasy world with some Asian influences, don't expect it to be 100% accurate to history, let alone to your own beliefs of what is historically accurate, which may well be false.
