United Republic of Nations

The United Republic of Nations, also known simply as the United Republic, is a republic created by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko after the end of the Hundred Year War from the former Fire Nation colonies within the western Earth Kingdom. The republic is a society where benders and non-benders from all four nations live and thrive together in peace and harmony. The United Republic is known for having a unique culture, which was shaped by immigration and a technological revoultion.

The capital of the United Republic is Republic City, a large, modern metropolis located on the shores of Yue Bay. From there, a political organization consisting of one representative from each nation, the United Republic Council, governs the republic.

History
In the aftermath of the Hundred Year War, Team Avatar, led by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko, came to an agreement with Earth King Kuei on the establishment of a Harmony Restoration Movement which aimed to return Fire Nation colonies to the control of the Earth Kingdom. One of the consequences of this action was the removal of Fire Nation citizens from the settlements that they had created over the past century. This order of removal had considerably negative demographic consequences unforseen by the parties in the agreement. A year into the operation of the movement, Zuko withdrew his support after knowing to protect his people, being accused of being a traitor, precipitating a confrontation with his friend, the Avatar.

After narrowly avoiding war, Aang and Zuko resolved this impasse by reforming the Fire Nation colonies into a fifth nation separate from the four nations. This fifth nation would be a society where anyone from around the world would be able to live, governed by a Council with representatives from each of the three nations and two from the Water Tribes. They named this new republic the United Republic of Nations and established Republic City, located in the northwestern Earth Kingdom, as its capital.
