This might be a hot take but every time someone hates on Natlan by comparing it to Fontaine, a angel loses its wings.
Granted I have not finished the Fontaine archon quest so I guess I can’t speak too much on it but so far I noticed the biggest differences between the two nations is that Fontaine is concentrated on current characters while Natlan is concentrated on the history of the land.
Do I wish more of the Natlan characters like Mavuika would be more fleshed out and interesting? Yes, it would be nice. Would it help the story more? Maybe. But again the current characters are not the point of what Natlan is.
Natlan as a whole focuses so much on its history and origins. All their traditions and tribes came from the original hero’s, the ancient names, the resurrection, the gadgets and tools they use, etc. Everything that Natlan is, mostly based on its history and lore.
I’ve noticed a trend with those who complain that Natlan is the worst nation and it’s those same people who beg for a skip button… why are you playing a STORY BASED game if you don’t want to read (not even cause most quests outside small side quests and world quests are voiced).
Let me make it clear, Natlan has flaws. It does. The stereotypes and lack of character development but it’s not the worst nation. With what it lacks, it makes up with the story. The lore within it is so immersive and huge, down to lore drops after lore drops about dragons to a finding out a normal human killed a sovereign and then made a deal with a shade who we later come face to face with in the AQ. 
Anyway rant over, I needed to get this out before I lost my mind.
