I actually thought of both Chinese and Mongolian in the attire as well.

We've never been told about the culture (particularly pre-EC 800s). The only people that we see from Snakeland are Chartette and what appears to be a Venomania descendant. All "westerners" that settle and (potentially) propogate there.

If the kingdom is Snakeland, then their ruler might've had anti-foreign/puritan sentiments and wanted to keep out western influence, which could've been the source for civil war sparking in the nation soon after.

Notice all the mights/coulds. I see that as the general indication, but there's nothing definitive on that.
