Technology
Avatar: the Last Airbender had a strange world in terms of technological innovations. While the Fire Nation had Ironclad ships, they lacked gun powder and cannons, instead using flaming trebuchets. Bending had a large impact on the world's technological innovations and infrastructure, which can also be seen by the Ice walls of the Water Tribe, and train system of the Earth Kingdom.
Despite train systems and warships, the people of Avatar used many weapons which would seem archaic today. So, what time period of technology does Four Nations use? What kinds of weapons or gadgets are feasible? This thread will hopefully answer any questions you man have.

Energy Sources
Coal and Steam engines. Large metal vehicles such as trains, tanks, Ironclads, Airships, and Warballoons all have locomotion through the use of steam engines. The most common user of steam engines are the Fire Nation.
Bending. Certain structures and creations can be grated locomotion through the use of bending. These vehicles and structures include: submarines (Water), trains (Earth), tanks (Earth), and buildings (Earth/Water). The most common use of bending in infrastructure is Earthbending.
Weaponry
100 AG. Weapons which existed during the time of ATLA can be found and used. These include weapons such as bows, eastern broadswords, spears, and guardless longswords. They mostly resemble Chinese craftsmanship.
101-135 AG. These weapons were just recently invented within the last 35 years. Japanese-style blades such as Katanas, tantos, and Nodachis have become very popular in the Fire Nation. Inventors in the Earth Kingdom have just recently created something called a "Cross-bow" which allows even unskilled fighters to fire bows.
Common Items
101-135 AG. These items have just become commonplace within the past few years. Hair dyes have become a popular trend among all nations, and are usually considered to be expensive. More detailed maps of the world have been created.
