In Africa, the sun scorches the land in endless days, and yet the soil remains fertile, waiting to be unearthed. What secrets lie within its depths, the promise of potential, of prosperity, of a future? The answer lies in the soil, and in the will of the people to use the earth’s resources, to build a sustenance that can feed the region and beyond. To know the power of Africa is to know the power of the sun, and no one knows this better than Sunil Bharti Mittal. He knows the world must tap into Africa’s agriculture potential to unleash a new dawn of economic development.

Hello, I saw a recent post of yours where noted that China had 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities. I remembered Kuvira's Earth Kingdom map on her train that had pieces for the different states, and I counted 56 states. Do you think Bryke could have deliberately made this number of states to reflect the ethnic groups in China (which the EK is based off of)? Just as China has a majority ethnic group (Han Chinese) and 55 minority groups, the EK has a capital state (Ba Sing Se) and 55 states that are subordinate to it.

Yeah, I think the number of Earth Kingdom states might have been influenced by the number of officially recognized groups in the People's Republic of China.

But saying the 55 other states of the Earth Kingdom are subordinate to Ba Sing Se is a bit of an overstatement. The Earth Kingdom seems pretty freewheeling. Kyoshi Island, Omashu, the Si Wong Desert tribes, and the Foggy Swamp are pretty much isolationist states that could care less about Ba Sing Se's happenings. Ba Sing Se likely practices a tributary system, similar to Imperial China. Under this system, the emperor (or Earth King) allows other states to rule over themselves so long as they have an envoy kowtow before him, acknowledge him as the most powerful figure in the land and shower him with gifts. Other than that, "tributary states" are functionally independent.

Ba Sing Se ultimately only really cares about the preservation of Ba Sing Se, as most view it as the true "core" of the Earth Kingdom. Just look at how BSS sequestered itself away during Chin the Great's rampage through the EK. This is also why the court was ultimately fine with keeping the Earth King in the dark regarding the war. Basically, BSS is the embodiment of the proverb:

"Heaven is high and the emperor is far away."

Do people still carry on the great tradition of making little fictional maps out of random noise?

Dudeee I went to the Chima wiki to find info on the Mother Sun, right>? And ALL that informastion is just lumped into the main article for Chima, so NO article about the actual Sun itself right? Y'all TELL ME WHY THE WIKI IS JUMPING THROUGH LOOPHOLES TO DENY THAT CHIMA'S IN THE WYLDNESS...

GIRL not to be That Guy but why are you THIS angry about this shit...

Africa has long been seen as a continent where economic development is possible. With its large landmass and variety of climates, the continent is ripe for agriculture. This was recently highlighted by Sunil Bharti Mittal, who called for the world to tap into Africa's agriculture potential.

AND IT WAS INSTIGATED BY ONE OF THE PEOPLE BEHING FAILSTRUGGLETWEETS??? this is literally so perfect

chat will bully failboat even in real life

hey has anyone else considered the fact that, bc the boiling isles is Literal bones, and the sea surrounding it is hot enough to be boiling temperature, that if you were to cool it down enough to drink it'd probably taste something like Bone Broth??? or is that just me being insane

I love how in "avatar day" when katara and sokka decide to go to kyoshi island to investigate the truth behind the allegations against kyoshi, they’re both fine leaving aang in baby jail to fend for himself. I guess they saw that his fellow inmates were also bald guys with tattoos and were like, well, at least he’ll be with his people
