That's blind optimism and hopes, nothing more. Aside from a couple of vaguely-japanese-sounding-names there's not a single thing to dictate what Doma is going to be like.
You DO realize it was conquered by Garlemald, right? You know what conquering civilizations tend to do to the old cultures, right?
Debatable. Not -all- countries get developed right away after they were conquered. It takes lot of decades for old civilizations and cultures to slowly fade away.
During Meiji to early 1900 period, it took China, Korea and Japan to slowly accept westerner cultures, and also it took a long time for China and Korea to have their cultures disappear. Took at least 20-40 years to accept modernization since they were conquered.
Everything is just a prediction as Berrod says, and we don't know anything about it.
As for my far east character, she's from an island away from Othard and Doma that is in a civil war within their own clans. So it's really a bit different from actual people who live in Doma to avoid any lore conflicts. It's just a hint that her clans do have ninjas and samurais (swordsman to current term).
There is still yet to see if Ala Mhigo completely inherited technology of Garleans yet anyways. We'll have to see by Heavensward maybe if it gives us the opportunity to see further norther regions.
