The Earth Kingdom works much more like a confederacy than an actual kingdom. The Earth King's power really only extended to the walls of Ba Sing Se, some may argue even less than that. As a result, you have different leaders of various areas in the Earth Kingdom. For example, Kyoshi Islamd has a governor, the Swamp Tribe and the Sand tribes each have chiefs, and Omashu has a king.
