 I was using Lord of the Wild which is one of my favorites. 
Ghost King, Vampire Queen, Master Druid are all standard to all nations I think.

 I just ran a quick test game with Helheim, taking no provinces and letting the AI take my capital, while sneaking all my commanders and troops off into his lands. 
As soon as I lost the capital, it was game over. 
As far as I can tell, you need to hold one province at all times.
