[PvK]

Well, to get the strongest SC, in theory you'd want the most points for the SC, so in theory you'd want a nation that doesn't suffer much from really bad scales, so Ashen or SG Ermor, Carrion Woods, Desert Tombs would be candidates. However, a clever player who appreciates that a VQ is not the ultimate weapon for all purposes, might choose a nation that is strong by itself, and only take the most wanted paths for the VQ, and more balanced or advantageous scales.
