So Vale alludes to China, except it doesn’t share any noticeble common traits with it aside from small, extremely generic traits that apply to dozens of other nations. That doesn’t make sense. Face it, Vale only alludes to China in your mind because you want it to. It doesn’t actually share anything in particular with China. The ‘Root’ you are refering to is something that is found in countries all over the globe, often with the exact elements. By that logic, Vale alludes to the USA and nearly all of Europe as well!

As for Vale’s naval tradition, your argument come’s down to ‘its geography kinda looks like other countries with naval traditions’. That’s really bad logic. Likewise, the argument of unity doesn’t make sense either. Its true China had a role in both the war and the formation of the United Nations...But so did Russia, the UK, France and the USA. By your own logic, Vale therefore also alludes to all these countries.

Being ‘shrouded in mystery’ isn’t a good argument either. Vale was never mentioned to be some sort of secret state. It was just developed less then the other kingdoms, as it was meant to be easily able to connect to the general audience. Saying ‘We don’t know much about Vale, so therefore it alludes to China!’ can be made with every coubtry. You can say Vale alludes to Korea, South Africa, Belgium and Pakistan or any other country by that logic.

Honestly, Atlas is closer to modern China now that I think it about it. An economic and militaristic super power that keeps a tight leash on its citizens, spies on them, is very developed in terms of technology, supported imperialism in the past and still treats some cities in its territory like shit.

Face it: Vale just doesn’t have anything special in common with China. And what it does have in common with China, it also has in common with many other countries.
