Talk:Geography of the World of Avatar/@comment-67.87.232.124-20120521202141

It seems that there can definitely connections drawn between the World of Avatar to our world, and recently after watching LOK, I couldn't help but wonder about its industrialization -- if World of Avatar is, in a way, East Asia, then who was the first to industrialize? I mean, in our world, Japan industrialized because they didn't want to get dominated by America and Europe, so how did the Fire Nation get started? Is there no equivalent to Europe in the Avatar's world?
