United Republic of Nations

"URN"

- Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko transformed the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations, a society where benders and non-benders from all over the world could live and thrive together in peace and harmony.

The United Republic of Nations, more commonly known as the United Republic, is a republic created by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko after the end of the Hundred Year War. The republic was created from the former Fire Nation colonies within the western Earth Kingdom. The republic was created to serve as a society where benders and non-benders from all four nations would 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 revolution.

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 unforeseen by the parties in the agreement. A year into the operation of the movement, Zuko withdrew his support after 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 four nations (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.

Appearance
The United Republic of Nations was formed from the Fire Nation colonies. When the nation was formed it was meant for benders and non-benders to come and live together, so the country has a broad range of different ethnicities. With this broad range of different cultures, there is different fashion and technology.

National emblem


The Emblem of the United Republic of Nations doesn't show any specific shape form. It shows similarities to a pentagon with a circle in the middle and also with a leg on the left and the right side. The emblem is not seen on the currency unlike the other emblems, but it has been seen in City Hall and as a pin on the clothing of the members of the United Republic Council.

Geography
The United Republic is located along the eastern coast of the Mo Ce Sea. In the vicinity of Republic City, the coastline is lined with mountains that cover much of the republic. The mountainous areas around Republic City are known to have a cold climate, while Republic City has a more temperate weather pattern.

Natural resources
In many large cities, there are electrical lines hanging over the heads of people to deliver power to their homes and work places. The power is released through electricity which is produced and generated by firebenders. Farmers are not seen in the United Republic of Nations, especially in Republic City and Yu Dao. However, harbors are present, implying that fishing is one of the city's sources of food.
