Korra’s story spans the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, Air Temples and the United Republic. Republic City is a city within that world, not another elemental nation.
A useful geography checklist
| Place or region | Why it matters in Korra |
|---|---|
| Southern Water Tribe | Korra's home and early training |
| Northern Water Tribe | Unalaq's political and spiritual influence |
| Republic City / United Republic | Pro-bending, industry, policing and the opening conflict |
| Earth Kingdom | Regional politics and later struggles over control |
| Zaofu | Suyin Beifong's metalbending community |
| Air Temples | Air Nomad heritage and the renewed Air Nation |
| Spirit World | A different realm, not an ordinary country on the physical map |
A location relationship diagram
This original diagram shows which locations belong together. It does not represent coastlines, travel distances or the placement of the Seven Havens.
City, country and realm are different scales
Republic City is not interchangeable with the whole United Republic. Zaofu is not the entire Earth Kingdom. The Spirit World does not work like a neighbouring nation with ordinary roads across a border. Keeping those categories separate makes travel and political references easier to follow.
This page is a location guide, not a navigationally accurate reproduction of an official map. For exact coastlines or a location's placement, consult licensed reference material rather than assuming a fan schematic preserves scale.
What portals change
Korra's story changes how humans and spirits move between realms. A spirit portal connects realms; it is not simply a newly drawn land border. The Book 4 portal in Republic City is especially important to the finale and the comics that follow.
Can you use Korra-era geography for Seven Havens?
Not automatically. Seven Havens is set after a catastrophe, and its surviving settlements need to be identified from the new story. The old geography supplies background, but it does not prove where each haven now stands.
Use the Seven Havens setting guide for the newer world, and the comics guide for the immediate post-finale changes around Republic City.
