The fact that I am in the general ending results of Cutest Fake Couple for not simply this year but the previous year allows me to question what sorts of relationships I am getting into.

A hearty congratulations to everyone, good sirs and madams.

12.5, sir. You have left out Theodore Roosevelt, who himself counts as six full-grown men alone.

My dreams for what the next Avatar series should be have most certainly come true. I simply cannot wait for this event, it shall be amazing.

http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Republic_City

Here is a quick Wiki article on Republic City for future reference. I must say that inspirations from all four of the above cities - particularly Shanghai and Hong Kong in particular, is very evident.

If you will all pardon my geopolitical analysis, I would assume the most likely location for Republic City would be somewhere in the Earth Kingdom, as Plums stated previously, considering its size and diversity. The climate appears to be a bit too cold for the general Fire Nation whilst much too warm for either of the Water Tribes - perhaps the islands on which the Air Nomads built a handful of their temples may also be a possibility, but I would presume them being much too mountainous from what we have seen of them.

What is interesting to note is that the architecture of Republic City has a number of influences - I can see the high curves on the roofs of a few buildings, usually associated with the Fire Nation, gently-sloping Earth Kingdom roofs here and there, and even the high skyscrapers in the background being possible influences of the Air Nomads. The former two, if indeed found in the Earth Kingdom, may be from the Fire Nation's previous occupation of it but that may only be the case if construction began seventy years prior.

Indeed, it is stated that there are "people from all nations" in this city, which may signify three things:

1. The city is in a separate jurisdiction of its own.

2. The city is indeed located within one of the four nations, however ease of relations through the nations have allowed for immigrants from other nations to settle in the city safely. If this is certainly the case then I must applaud Zuko for diplomatically reforming his nation.

3. The city is part of a new nation entirely. Witness the fact it is named Republic City - indeed, it has been seventy years, and for what facts we have, we may be able to presume that the previous four nations have been done away with entirely and replaced with more "modern" nations - larger collections of them resembling the nations we have today, not divided by geography as per the previous nations but general geopolitical attitudes and the like. The fact that the city's multiculturalism has been confirmed may contribute to this fact - the barriers between the previous four nations have essentially dissolved, the city's people representing it as such. This is, of course, a theory of such, and as an honest counterpoint I would doubt that Mike and Bryan would so easily remove the four defined "elements" pertaining to the series, even in the face of modernism.

What may be known for a fact, however, is that a Republic indeed exists in this present time, though it is unknown whether it is a new nation entirely or simply one of the four previous nations adapting a new governmental system. Perhaps the Fire Nation has turned into a Republic per Zuko's aforementioned reformations or a reconstruction of the Earth Kingdom government after the corruption in Ba Sing Se, despite the kingdom itself being extremely decentralized.

In general, and as you most likely witness through my insane tinfoil ranting above, I am horribly, horribly excited over this revelation. All I require now is noir themes.

I am quite honestly curious as to how they may implement this, and if done so without an overly genericised way how it may be executed.

Again, there is indeed a chance they both may still be alive. For the former, however, I am not perfectly certain about the life span of flying bison, however there is an interesting chance he may indeed be alive as a remnant or tribute or some such. Sokka, if he is indeed living, would be an old man at this point, something akin to Bumi I would wish to imagine.

Santa Claus, I see you have returned.

The ending is perhaps one of the reasons why the novel is such an amazing work of fiction - though its particular quality is shocking it, and the...

Ah, that is excellent. Hopefully it may be forgotten of in such a case. Ah yes, it can certainly be quite fun delving in "immature" aspects at...

The Grapes of Wrath.









Ah wait, I am not quite sure if I am doing this correctly.

We got a rock.

There is a reason why we invested a large amount of skill points in your magic abilities.

Please inform us when you witness La Sofa riding a bicycle in the ensuing tornado whilst cackling to himself menacingly.

That is quite good to hear. And indeed, perhaps she requires a bit of tact from what I assume? Why thank you kindly, sir. It means quite a bit...

Ah, I see. To say that you shall find the parties alone of significance would simply downplay the entire quality of the book, however. I do hope...

A very accurate representation of the man.

Excellent sir, now you are understanding it. Soon you shall be utilising your custom-crafted lightsaber in very little time.

If you refuse to accept the Force then you shall never satisfy your dreams of becoming a Jedi Master, sir.

Are you implying that you have turned poor Alex into your alcoholic acquaintance, sir?

I am quite glad to see you are enjoying the novel, madam. Where are you, currently?

Dear Flame, I certainly wish I had such an accent, considering my current one. Perhaps I may use a filter of some sort in the future. Best...

Ah yes, how is this problem working out at this point? Indeed it is, however I considered it justified at the time for the specific reason that...
