So no, I too don't think its something that should be aspired too. They aren't totally nomadic. Presumably around Shade Academy there is something more akin to a city and possibly in areas housing large mining operations. What I think is the case there is that some of these other Kingdoms have their main cities and scattering of fixed settlements outside the cities yet within the Kingdom. Vacuo has basically the main city, perhaps some company towns, and a bunch of nomadic Bedouin-style groups in shanty villages in the remaining areas. That is what I surmise.
