What kind? [ That's a good question. Ikki has to think about it. ] We-ell, at home there're four nations - Earth Kingdom, Air Nomads, Water Tribes North and South - so I guess technically more than four, 'cause both of them get representatives on the council? - and then the Fire Nation. There's also a United Republic of Nations, which is what my home is kinda part of, although Air Temple Island is also kinda just itself, y'know?
Anyway, it's a big place. I haven't seen everything yet. The Water Tribes, that's where my GranGran and Uncle Sokka are from, they're cold. They're at the poles, and they're all ice and ice water and more ice, but they're also really, really pretty. You get these lights in the sky, in those places. Like the spirits just reached up and painted the sky all different colours, and the paint just shimmers and never dries, but just goes on glowing and existing. It's my favourite part of the South Pole, almost. [ The first favourite part, the real favourite part? That's Katara. ]
The Earth Kingdom has the biggest land, and it's - well, it's lots of different things. Deserts and forests and swamps. It's always growing, in one way or another. That's where Republic City's at, down south in the Earth Kingdom. The Fire Nation's hot, and there're jungles and things, and some of it is a bit closer to cold, and...I guess it's just as different as the Earth Kingdom, you know?
The Air Nomads, that's my people, they used to live in these huuuuuuge temples, one at each corner of the world. There were two temples for the monks and two for the nuns, 'cause they all lived separately. Daddy's taken us to see them, the temples, you know. They're...quiet, and old, and they feel empty but also somehow full. There's one that has people in it, but the other three are - well, I guess maybe someday we'll open them up again, and rebuild 'em, but that hasn't happened yet.
