Well to be frank, we know very little about the other nations, heads of state lineage. We know that Northern Water Tribe is a patriarchal society. Yue could inheiret but most likely her husband would have been the chief, not her.

We know only one Southern chief but I believe they are as rigid in tradition (as confimred in Korra book 2) as their Northern brothers. So in the South it probably depends on the oldest child.

We only know three earth kings and each is as distant from eachother as the last. We can not acurately make a hypothosis as we do not have conisistant linear data.

The Air Nomads don't count.

But in the Fire Nation we run into similar problems as with the Earth Kingdom. Not enough information to make an acurate assumption.
