I mean, their climate and location tell us a lot and we've seen enough of Vale, Mistral, and Atlas to assume that they are similar to their real life parallels.

Vale is a first world country for sure- they have chicken nuggets, video games, and holographic streetlamps.

Maybe that is why the main characters generally have more complex weapons than the students from the other nations- excluding Reese, Neptune, and Sun. (Or maybe it's because they're background characters).

I think Atlas is alluded from USA or Prussia and Vale is alluded from MODERN China or Rome,Mistral from India and Vacuo from Arabic states.Atlas has imperialistic behavior,advanced tech and oversea military base and its culture is filled with jingoism and militarism.

Vale was invaded in Great war,so we can assume that Vale is Atlas'greatese(and only)rival.On earth,USA's greatest rival is China-at least Americans and Chineses think so.From Vale's building style we can assume that Vale has pragmatism culture,which Rome and China(Modern)have.What's more,both Vale and China had bitter history of being invaded and their own War of Resistence.

For Mistral and Vacuo…cultural reasons

If Vale really alludes modern China,then Beacon students can easily find parts for their well-designed and complex weapons from Vale's vast manufactory capability
