So either the Vale protection barriers cover a lot more ground than I'm assuming or the population does not grow very fast in the RWBYverse. There's another possibility, high mortality rates. It's entirely feasible that the defenses are frequently attacked or even breached by the Grimm on semi-regular basis. I think expansion was gained through a combination of small ad hock attempts over time which were either more successful or when compared to mountain glen only resulted in a handful of deaths and as Emerald notes the tall buildings in Vale which can house a larger population

Mountain Glenn was the first serious attempt at expansion, not the first attempt.

As for feeding Vale they probably trade with villages outside the kingdom. JNPR said they are going to help law enforcement in a village outside the kingdom so they probably have some sort of deal where the kingdoms provide defences and the villages give food to the kingdoms.

I don't think Mountain Glenn was covered up. I don't think something that large could be covered up.

Why did she not bob and weave instead of trying to stand toe to toe with a trained soldier? Is the scythe enchanted or something and it ups her speed and strength?

Never saw it coming the Bart's weapon was the coffee thermos. A lot of people saw it coming, It was confirmed for me in search and destroy when he took the sip out of it and there was detail on the bottom A fair few people guessed on the [Oobleck's Weapon] Thread
