Who controls ba sing se?
Prior to the war, the Earth King had full jurisdiction over the matters in Ba Sing Se, and received consultancy in military matters from the Council of Five. After the death of the 51st Earth King, the role of the Grand Secretariat of Ba Sing Se was created and slowly, that position, held at the time by Long Feng, became a domineering force and rivaled the control of the Earth King, who had become a figurehead. Following Ba Sing Se’s liberation, it is likely that control over the capital returned to the Earth King.
