Impressive as always SaM. I'm curious to know actually where Vale gets its mineral resources. You speculate that it probably isn't fully urbanised and while there could be internal mines, they may well have been exhausted. Trade with other kingdoms with greater internal deposits may be a valid solution but I do wonder if they are forced to acquire resources outside the kingdom. Of course, we don't know how exactly built up these areas are - given the size of the industrial area, it could include primary industries too (maybe).

Also, you were disbelieved? Granted the concept seems fantastic at first but comparing Torchwick's map to that of Remnant shows Vale is exceedingly large, even if you don't know its exact area.
