And to clear up confusion, the last part of my "rant" was not directed at GhostAgent247, with whom I agree wholly concerning the Fire Nation's military principles (moreover, he didn't discuss Chinese fashion); however, the amount of cultural confusion on here (Chinese fashion vs. Japanese fashion) is a little daunting (see below comments).

China was the motherland of Asia for quite a while due to its access to a vast melting pot of resources. This is where the Fire Nation more readily resembles Japan: they had to conquer other nations to get what materials they needed--again, the military took care of that for them. But holistically the cultural and fashion styles of the FN are most reminiscent of those in the Chinese culture, and that's mostly why I agree with the very first anonymous contributor in this chain.
