United Republic of Nations

The United Republic of Nations, also known simply as United Republic, is a fifth nation created by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko after the end of the Hundred Year War from the former Fire Nation colonies within the western Earth Kingdom. The republic is a society where benders and non-benders from all four nations live and thrive together in peace and harmony.

The capital of the United Republic is Republic City, a large, modern metropolis located on the shores of Yue Bay. From there, a political organization made ​​up of one representative from each nation, the United Republic Council, governs the republic.

History
In the aftermath of the Hundred Year War, Team Avatar, led by Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko, came to an agreement with Earth King Kuei on the establishment of a Harmony Restoration Movement which aimed to return Fire Nation colonies to the control of the Earth Kingdom. One of the consequences of this action was the removal of Fire Nation citizens from the settlements they had created over the past century. This order of removal had considerable negative demographic consequences not considered by any of the parties to the agreement. A year into the the operation of the movement, Zuko withdrew his support after being accused of being a traitor, precipitating a confrontation with his friend, the Avatar.

After narrowly avoiding war, Aang and Zuko resolved this impasse by reforming the Fire Nation colonies into a fifth nation separate from the original four. This new nation would be a society where anyone from around the world would be able to live, and would be governed by a council with representatives from each of the four nations. They named this new nation the United Republic of Nations and established as its capital, Republic City, at a location in the northwestern Earth Kingdom.

United Republic Council


Aside from establishing the republic, a government was also founded where one representative from each nation would sit in the United Republic Council, where they can represent their interests. There are five members in total, representing the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Northern Water Tribe, Southern Water Tribe, and Air Nation.
