Mistral is most likely the equivalent of China, because members of ABRN, the first team we meet from Mistral (besides Cinder's) use a rope dart and a bo staff specifically. I believe that the fact that Ren's village is in Mistral shows this perfectly, as most of the people there appear to be ethnically asian, and the houses appear similar to those in China.

Mistral is based on TRADITIONAL China or India,not MODERN China.Mistral even cannot control their territory while China has a strong burearucracy with Emperor/Party as center.Vale's influence is not as strong as UK,but much like China
