Earth Kingdom emblem

The *Earth Kingdom* is a faction of the *Avatar Franchise.*

## Summary

The Earth Kingdom is one of the world's four nations. Spanning most of the continent as well as several subsidiary islands, it is the largest and most populated sovereignty in the world and encompasses much of the eastern hemisphere. The kingdom operates as a monarchy under the rule of a king or queen, although the 54th Earth King, Wu of the Hou-Ting dynasty, announced his intention in 174 AG to abdicate the throne in favor of splitting the nation into independent states with democratically elected leaders, akin to the political system used in the United Republic of Nations.

## Civilization stats

**Tier 11:** **Industrial:** The Earth Kingdom has a large economy based on agriculture and limited industry, though it is not as economically powerful as the Fire Nation, which benefits from advanced technology.

## Power source

**Energy Source: Internal**

**Nature:** Earth Manipulation(The People of the Earth Kingdom have the ability to control Earth with Martial Arts. This technique is called Earthbending) Metal Manipulation (some people like Toph are able to bend metal.) Construction (Earthbenders use their abilities for defense and industry and fiercely defended their cities against Fire Nation attacks during the Hundred Year War.) Human Physiology (The Earth Kingdom Humans can bend earth)

## Conquest stats

**Tier 8-A:** **Large Continent:** Spanning an entire continent as well as several subsidiary islands, it is the largest and most populated sovereignty in the world and encompasses much of the eastern hemisphere.

## Power stats

**Attack:** **Building:** The tanks sport side hatches that open up so that those inside can launch projectiles at enemy troops. **Street-Wall**: Earth Kingdom Soldiers individually. **Large Building:** Toph's earthbending style was unique and thus unpredictable, as her training was unconventional and more deeply rooted in the nature of earthbending rather than just pure fighting. This style greatly differentiated from the rigid training and fighting style that earthbenders like the Dai Li implemented. Toph's style tended to be proven to be superior to the Dai Li, as she was able to take on a number of them and defend her friends at the same time. **Building:** Attack Power of the Soldiers with boulders against Fire Nation Tank.

**Durability:** **Building:** The treads are made of plates of earth strung together by a metal wire, allowing the earthbenders to control the tank. These vehicles can house many troops and cross almost any terrain. Their armor is highly resistant to fire, making them ideal for assaults on enemy positions. Notably, the tanks were able to withstand bombardment from several Fire Nation airships during the failed invasion of the Fire Nation. **Athletic Human:** Durability of Earthbenders individually with armor.

**Speed:** **Superhuman:** Speed of Dai Li Agents. **Athletic:** Speed of Ostrich Horses. **Bellow Average Human:** Speed of Earthbending-Powered Tanks. **Athletic:** Speed of Earth Kingdom Soldiers

## Strengths/Pros

The Earth Kingdom long withstood encroachments on their borders in the Fire Nation's century-long imperialist war. Other than the Avatar, the Earth Kingdom was the only real obstacle that hindered the Fire Nation from achieving world domination. although it had previously been asserted that the fall of Ba Sing Se would lead to the disintegration of any remaining Earth Kingdom forces, rebel fighters continued to resist foreign rule. This warranted Fire Lord Ozai's decision of burning the Earth Kingdom to the ground upon the arrival of Sozin's Comet.

The people of the Earth Kingdom are proud and strong and adhere to a philosophy of peaceful coexistence and cooperation with the other nations of the world. Earthbenders use their abilities for defense and industry and fiercely defended their cities against Fire Nation attacks during the Hundred Year War. It also has a large economy based on agriculture and limited industry, though it is not as economically powerful as the Fire Nation, which benefits from advanced technology.

## Weaknesses/Cons

The Earth Kingdom is characterized by significant ethnic and cultural diversity, a consequence of the country's vast territorial expanse. As a result, it suffers from high levels of local autonomy and ethnic conflict, both of which began accelerating as the central government grew weak. Despite this division, the people's recognition of the Earth Kingdom as a single political entity is largely strengthened through the communal belief in a shared history and identity. Though the Water Tribe aided the Earth Kingdom in the War, the conflict progressed poorly and took a heavy toll on them as the years passed. This continued until the Coup of Ba Sing Se, when Princess Azula of the Fire Nation seized control of the Earth Kingdom capital city, Ba Sing Se. By the following summer, the metropolis was occupied by the Fire Nation military. And it has used a secret police called the Dai Li which arrests and processes anyone speaking of war in Ba Sing Se.
