I mean, I suppose in a world like Remnant it would make sense that the guys in charge would make a single vast megatropolis for each kingdom rather than try to spread themselves out over multiple large settlements. And besides, haven't the characters in the show REPEATEDLY stated that the "kingdoms" are the last safe havens from the Grimm? In this sense, it implies that the four existing cities ARE the kingdoms, and are referred to as such simply by rule of thumb, as they must be large enough to sustain high population and be able to hold off Grimm attack (and also, Vale takes up quite a big chunk of the continent for just being a "city").
