I think I understand the symbolism behind Vacuo's (apparent) icon. Wings for freedom because they seem to be "carefree" society and a lantern to be a light in the darkness. If Vacuo is what I think it is, then it is an underdeveloped desert kingdom. Fewer buildings, virtually no electricity, less light. Which means more trouble when the dark of night arrives, so they'd need to keep torches lit on a perimeter (likely atop whatever "natural borders" they've built their kingdom within).
