Not to much of interest here, mostly just conformation for Blogs like this one. Only big surprise is that, despite being referred to as Kingdoms, they actually have a ruling council, not a monarchy.

The mention of villages and nomads living outside the Kingdoms is a little interesting; in contrast to shows like Attack on Titan, where humanity is content to hide behind their walls, the people of Remnant seem dead set on claiming the wilds from the Grimm. Though even in this "time of peace" that's still fraught with danger. You know, it's a little like the towns you visit in an RPG where you take on quests to handle their problems -

Wait a minute. Is that what the "first mission" for students is? Go to a village outside of the kingdom and see if you can help with their "Grimm problem"? Is this next "arc" where we're going to see the real threat posed by the Grimm?
