I have the headcannon that Faunus are more or less treated indifferently in Vacuo - they're not discriminated aginst, but they don't get any special treatment either. They're treated just like everyone else.

I also have the headcannon that the White Fang is kind of Vale exclusive - they make forays into the other kingdoms occasionally, for things like the Atlas military droids and whatnot, but other than that they focus mainly only Vale. And that would be why Sun is so surprised about the White Fang as Chishio said; because they're nothing more than a newstory to the other kingdoms. An extremist terrorist group, sure, but not something really that big, and it's only because they're focusing on Vale that the Valians (Valese? Velsh? Valish?) think they're so big.

Which would be a great way for tension to exist between Kingdoms - the other Kingdoms are wondering why Vale doesn't just stamp them out, Atlas has sent their troops to assist in squashing them (a la The United Nations in the Middle Eastern Wars - please don't shoot me. It's only a small comparison, probably not even that accurate) and Vale is just looking at the other countries saying "Well, you don't know what it's like. You don't have to deal with it. Thanks for having our backs, Atlas" type of thing.
