Talk:Fire Nation Capital/@comment-69.225.129.77-20101114023354

Remember that, during the series, the population of the Fire Nation is stretched thin - they have annexed what has to be a goodly portion of the Earth Kingdom, and nearly all of their males of age are pressed into service abroad. It is only the pesantry, children, and nobles who remain at home.

Imagine, perhaps, Indonesia as the Fire Nation, who have started taking over most of Asia. Their capital city wouldn't be terribly populated, either.
