An expansionist empire who controls in some manner almost half of the world, for all its flaws and infamy, the Fire Nation was, until recently, remarkable for trying to integrate subjugated peoples instead of going for total assimilation or enslavement (although that doesn’t mean those of Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation descent are held as equals in most places), with the nation’s modus operanti having drastically changed ever since Avatar Azulon’s death at age 93 (although he didn’t extend said “gentleness” to the Southern Water Tribe, who he considered savages and whose main focus was to permanently cripple), with his grandson (and adopted son), Ozai, being a staunch defender of the ideology of “Fire Supremacy” and pushing its agenda ever since ascending to the Flaming Throne, with younger colonies and military territories now having some semblance of caste systems while cases of ethnical or “bending” cleansing becoming more common, besides the rise in war crimes and military brutality under the new Firelord (who is so mind-bogglingly evil that he personally disfigured his own son before banning him for speaking out of turn) Undoubtedly the most powerful nation in the world, being the richest and most developed amongst its peers, having discovered the steam engine some two centuries ago and using it and other technological achievements to both strengthen and unify herself into a powerhouse, who under Sozin opened the Long War by enacting a genocide against the Air Nomads (although some say he started it with his marriage to the Ruby Queen of Kangfao) during the last coming of “his” comet.
