Very broadly the Water Tribes are Inuit, the Fire Nation is Imperial Japan, the Earth Kingdom is Chinese, and the Air Nomads are Tibetan. But they mix things up a bit, so it's not a perfect 1:1 comparison.

Guide 10/17/23 10:05:22 PM #34:	Ivynn posted... Fire Nation = Japan It's really not. The naming scheme, aesthetic, martial art choreography regularly employed by firebenders, even the dragon lore has more Chinese influence than Japanese. Earth Kingdom gets more emphasis on the societal and isolationist policies, while Fire Nation gets all the imperial dominance flavor.
