Thanks to June's Journey for sponsoring this video!

ALSO note that I got some facts mixed up in this video. Yu Dao didn't become Republic City itself, but part of the United Republic of Nations. It was Cranefish town that became Republic City specifically. And when I said "waist binding," I meant tight-lacing, but it may not have been as damaging to your health as popularly believed?
