It's not really as simple as that. The place I'm talking about isn't actually my homeland, it's a city in the Earth Kingdom named Ba Sing Se. The Earth King's servants were the Dai Li, and they were always tricking him to get what they want, and they brainwashed innocent people. [And caused the death of someone not much older than he.] But me and my friends were able to put a stop to them, and since then the Earth King has been able to become more responsible.

There are other systems in my world with problems. [He thinks of how the Northern Water Tribe dismissed women, and how the Fire Nation was... the Fire Nation.] Luckily, I think we did fix some of those problems in our travels. It is kind of part of my duty as the Avatar, anyway.
