United Republic Council

The United Republic Council is the governing body of the United Republic of Nations. It is composed of representatives from the Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, Air Nation, and both the Northern and Southern Water Tribes.

History
Following the aftermath of the Hundred Year War, Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko reformed the Fire Nation colonies into a fifth nation, the United Republic of Nations, and established Republic City as its capital. Representatives from each of the four nations formed the United Republic Council to govern the republic.

Following an Equalist gathering, where Amon's ability to remove people's bending permanently was revealed, the council convened. Tarrlok proposed forming a task force to attack the Equalists directly led by himself, something which Tenzin opposed, but the other council members agreed to. Tarrlok's attack later proved a success when he defeated a gathering of Equalists at an underground training facility in the Dragon Flats district, using a task force that featured Avatar Korra.

Council
The current United Republic Council consists of five members, each representing one of the four nations. Two members are present from the Water Tribes, representing each of the two major tribal factions. The council discusses political affairs regarding the United Republic of Nations inside the City Hall.
