This actually makes a lot of sense.....the great cities of Asia in the time right before the world war era were in the Middle East, not China. This would technically mean that the Earth Kingdom follows the lines of the Mongol Khantates, which encompassed aaaaaall that territory.

The walls are too short for it to be Ba Sing Se. Also not enough green to be earth kingdom.

u/lordcirth Feb 16 '21

Circles do get you the most enclosed area for the least wall. It's just a bit trickier to measure out.
