In recognition of the shifts of power rocking the world, Phoenix King Axrendale makes a decision to do a series of sweeping reforms over all aspects of the Fire Nation.

Military:

Phoenix Queen Azula is charged with completely reforming the Fire Nation military. The Military's new slogan is "Almost perfect isn't good enough". A strict new training regimen and recruiting policy is enacted to ensure that every single soldier is a firebender who is skilled in non-bending martial arts, weapon handling, and basic engineering. The infantry based army is transformed into the epitome of versatility; no matter what the situation, every soldier will have skills to tackle it. The new favored tactics of the FN is to use it's superior Ships, Balloons, and Carrier Tanks to mass troops against their opponents at short range, using bomb-propelling cannons to force relucatant enemies to engage. The army's new adeptness at close-quarters combat of all types at a moment's notice will allow the to fight much more efectively against the hit-and-run tactics of the "Screaming Badgers" and Airbenders.

Economic:

Land redistribution laws are passed, granting free land to thousands of previously unemployed people. The massed opening up of new centers of food production ensures that the Fire nation remains well ahead of all other nations as far as food supplies are concerned. A debt cancellation law creates considerable ease for the FN economy.

Technology:

The Fire Nation works to improve the quality of it's metal working, allowing for greater quantities of raw iron to be processed, increasing production for the military.

Other:

The Dragon Population has recovered. Several hundred Dragons dwell in the FN capital.

I may be adding to this, as more FN people come on, and may have something to add. I request that it remain the FN's move for a while, in case they wish to do so.

I'm going to be out for a few hours now - so if you have anything to say to me, just send a pm.
