So far, I would compare the Hunstmen of RWBY to the Hunters of HxH, only with legitimate schooling. To me, the idea seems to work so far, as there is yet to be any evidence that Huntsmen belong to the nation they reside in. In fact, it sounds as though they are meant to "serve the world," as a whole, ei: The Union of Human Kingdoms.

Except what about the Vytal Festival? It is supposed to allow teams from other schools like Beacon to compete in some kind of tournament. So obviously the other major nations out there have their own Hunters, which probably have no legal power outside of the nation they received their title of Hunter from. Hell even in the US, certain jobs require you to re-register and start from scratch when moving between states; can't imagine what it would be like traveling between countries.
