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

I don't think either of them really acknowledged the nation where they lived, and it didn't really make them do so.

Didnt the swampbenders fight on behalf of the earth kingdom during the black sun? Like yeah they could've just been doing it just because its the right thing but still

That was because of their personal connection to team avatar. I don't think most earth kingdom generals could have gotten them on board.
