Actually, I didn't even get the impression that this was a proper nation/kingdom, at least one not equal to Mistral and Vale. I got the impression it was sort of like our real world Indian Reservations. This means we have an interesting little historical 'what if' developing: What if the other side had won the Indian Wars and the North American mid-West was a seperate country ruled by a coalition of the native American tribal elders? Now that I think about it, I did get a definite Battle of Little Bighorn vibe from that history lesson. Of course, the Sioux didn't have night vision, but the essence was the same. Perhaps the Faunus are pretty much like Indians in general: the different varieties are distinct to other Faunus--the difference between Lakota and Cheyenne, for instance--but to the humans, they're all savages.

Therefore, perhaps Blake's "tribe" (for lack of a better term) is especially infamous--like the Apaches--and she's concealing her identity in order to avoid the negative stigma associated with her people.
