2) Menagerie is literally on the other end of the second largest continent from Mistral.

3)They don't have communications between Menagerie and Mistral. That's why Ghira had to send a messenger that got intercepted.

4) Ghira has no influence on world politics. Nobody cares about Menagerie, that's why the faunus got it.

You are correct, a countries status doesn't effect how popular its leader is... but his presence on the world stage does.

Ark is correct:

Ghira literally couldn't use the internet equivalent on Remnant, any messages he sent were delayed, and he actively had crazies like Adam whose livelihood depended on distorting any positive messages he may have had, Menagerie has no natural resources people want like the IRL middle-east, and Ghira has no religious importance.
