    He looks young, no facial hair, uses glasses, and he is thin.

    I think the Earth King is just the king of Ba Sing Se. Maybe he gets to be called the "Earth" King because Ba Sing Se is supposed to be the greatest city in the world.

    The Earth King is called the earth king because hes is the ruler of the capital of the earth kingdom. And king bumi prolly doesn't have much power outside omashu like the earth king does. King Bumi is more like a mayor than a king.

    The Earth Kingdom is separated into many cities and not fully united, seeing as they have separate kings for different cities.

    It is said in "The City of Walls and Secrets" that the earth king has no real power and is just a figurehead. Long Feng is really the one who runs things

    No. The Earth Kingdom is made up of several different kingdoms, the Fire Nation is united under one leader (firelord), and for the record, the Water Tribes are lead by a chief plus a council, and Air Nomads are apparently lead by councils of elders.

    Here is the Earth King:

    I had to modify the image's lighting. He looks like a cross between Jin from Samurai Champloo and a librarian.

    Thanks for brightening the image! It's a lot clearer though he still looks something like a librarian. (It's the glasses. =P)
