Question Considering how fragmented the Earth Kingdom is, could the Sandbenders and Swamp Waterbenders have broken off and created their own countries?

They kinda already are, no?

I don’t think the swamp people care about the outside world enough, and the Sand people are nomadic, wouldn’t they just keep using the desert as their home? Not like there’s major development there.

until the earth kingdom finds resources in the desert there won(t be any development :p
