The Southern Water Tribe has been rebuild into a grand village in the past three generations. It's evolved from a small tribe consisting of igloos and huts, to a thriving civilization filled to the brim with lively people, and once more populated by Waterbenders. It still maintans the system of a Tribe with a chief though, rather than the Monarchical system utilized at the North Pole

 Medicinal Herbs are imported to aid in the medical centers, where Waterbending Healers treat the sick and wounded. Exports include seafood and custom made jewelry. The Southern Water Tribe is known for it's various Waterbending Masters. But the intense environment makes it difficult for just anyone to travel there and remain for training.
