Other Atlas Guy: Sure that sounds cool.

And then it was decided. I reckon its a bit more complicated than that. Weiss said that the school and the rest of the kingdom are part of the same system, so considering Atlas was the name of the academy first that must mean the academy took over the rest of the kingdom.

Atlas isn't just a militant society. Its a military ''state. ''The Headmaster of Atlas academy; be that Ironwood or his predecessor, must of taken over the rest of the kingdom somehow. Probably during a coup; The academy took control of the government and thus Atlas became the kingdom rather than just the academy; rendering Mantle now part of Atlas.
