Did we ever consider that Blake (if she's a Faunus) may have originated from Menagerie?

...Now I really wanna see Faunusland. (After Ruby creates, and then abruptly loses, an android that only speaks in 'Faunus.')

Ruby: Guys, where's Jopez!?

Weiss: *Sighs* Let me guess, the president of Faunusland is visiting and he's the only one who can translate?

Yang: It's called Menagirie, you idiot! I don't think they have their own language (that is a funny reference, though I support the Archduke of Menagarie instead of a president). That was the funny part, actually. Although Weiss is super intelligent abotu stuff based in her home country, she doesn't know s**t about the politics of other places, such as Menagirie. So, it would only be natural if she guessed that "Faunusland" was run by a president, and not an Archduke. Hmmmmm :), this could be something. I always thought that Weiss would be politically trained (and she seems to not only know about history but enjoy it as I personally do) but only in the corporate world (who the big names and companies are and no one else).

For all we know, there could be a huge business empire that originates all the way back in Menagirie, with way fairer rights for both humans and faunus and  locations all over the map, but the Schnee family has done their best to keep its influence out of Vale for the time being.
