Ok so this is a bit out there but the fire nation reminds me  of north korea in a few way.

1. They have little tolerance of traders and you must show full 100% support. Anything else is defence and must be taken care of. Even the school seems to have a one warning system than its to hard labor (coal mines). (References The Headband and The Avatar and the Fire Lord)

2. They treat their people in the poorer areas badly. Such as the fishing village. Due to the fact that there river is polluted they have very little to eat. North korea has the same problem because some of the food they have is inedible in the more remote area's. People get sick because of lack of food. In the fishing village no one can get medicine because of the factory. (References The Painted Lady)

3. The Fire nation is run by a family of dictators. This could be debatable but Ozai could be considered a dictator. The fire nation has taken over part of the earth kingdom and killed all the air nation. They destroyed any unauthorised material about them. Ozai even called himself the phoenix king the overall ruler. He is always portrayed as good (see number 1). ( References The Library and most the series of the last airbender) Sorry this was so long. But that is what I think. Even though most of the culture is not based on north korea it still has references. There just more subtle because the show is for kids. It could be coincidence too.
