Slavic myth is interesting, but I havn't done any research on the matter (not since an ars magica campaign a couple of years ago). So there will not be a slavic nation in dom3 at release, but I have considered adding one as a patch or mod later on.
The number of nations is tricky. Themes are reworked and put into the three ages. Niefelheim becomes Jotunheim in the middle era and is Utgård in the late era. Some nations do not exist in some eras etc. What earlier was a theme is now considered a nation in its own right which makes modding much easier. Thus I do not know exactly how may nations there will be, but about 60 is probably right. Entirely new ones (with early and late versions excluded) there are perhaps ten new ones. Sauromatia is very different from Pythium, but could be considered an early version. They do have Hydras, but Witch Kings are very different from Arch theurgs. Likewise Yomi is quite different from the later form Shinuyama and the last "nipponese" nation Jomon. The semblances between early middle and late Caelum are stronger.
So your question is a bit hard to answer. There will be about 60 nations but many of these are themes and variations that you will recognize from dom2.
Kalevala is on my own wishlist. It will probably not be in the first release of dom3, but has high priority after I'm finished with the current intended nations.

Hot damn! That's the biggest news in a long time, and I'm practically salivating already.

The only thing that makes me cringe is the prospect of having to produce a complete Dom3 DB for units, weapons, armor and other stuff...
