I think before the Great War, the kingdoms(except Vacuo) had standing armies. I think they went the route for demilitarization after the war for most of the kingdoms except for Atlas. They are currently the newest and largest standing military power in the world. I doubt that the Kingdoms don't have heavy artillery, just that it really isn't needed in certain areas.

As for Vale, they can't clear out the Grimm that easily or anytime soon.

Work on the character to work around the canon rather than fighting it. It will save you a few troubles down the line.
