Conditional
It is best interpreted as “if you are talking about…, then…“, as it emphasises the topic. Overall, なら(ば) is used to give suggestions or advice, speculation, or requests .
〜なら cannot go with the ます conjugation.
食べ~~ます~~なら 食べるなら
Adding the 〜ば makes it moreformal. アリスさんが言うならば、問題ないよ。 In the event that Alice says so, then there is no problem.
