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.

If Atlas has such a powerful standard army and super soidlers from Atlas Academy,then Atlas will use this army to blackmail or threat other kingdoms for its own interest-or even worse,force other kingdoms to obey Atlas or war-if no kingdom has relevant to balance it.Existence of Atlesian Army has shown that demilitarization has little effect on a kingdom that determined to build a army. Ideologue can be quickly discarded when there comes bare interest-just see how Atlas Academy works.Only interest that matters. In conclusion,war machine of Atlas can crush everything if nothing blocks it.Only a war machine can stop another.For political reasones-like suppress revolts and precaution other kingdoms' possible invansion,it is necessary for Vale to keep an army.No one will truly demilitarize if someone is keeping an army.In fact,I don't think Vale will truly give up their military because of Atlas.

Military of Vale may simliar to that of Venice or Genoa-a strong standard Navy and other techological units owned by the kingdom,but Land Army is heavily relied on merc group,PMCs and huntsmans.The major reason of the loss of Mountain Glenn may be lack of naval support.

I chose "Clausewitz" as Raytheon's last name because this name represented what war is and how cold politics can be.The problem is that the basement of the very existence and formation of my characters lies in the blank zone of canon,forcing me to explore the bilnd zone of canon
