All of the Avatar world represents Asia. Air Nomads are primarily Tibetan. Both the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom mix China, Korea, and Japan from different regions and time periods (EK is Qing-era China with Kyoshi and Song's village representing Japan and Korea, FN design has older Chinese elements blended into Imperial Japanese). Even the Water Tribe can be represented by the Yupik and other tribes of eastern Siberia, which are related and culturally similar to the Inuit. There's also probably an India-like region in some part of the EK, since Guru Pathik has to be from somewhere.
