You know what might be interesting? If some of the more experienced players around here contributed to a chart, based on their own perceptions of the different nations. Basically rating on 1-10 scale the strength of each nation in early, mid, and late game. Then again on a 1-10 scale for ease of playability, with LA Ermor being the only 10, and EA/LA Mictlan somewhere around a 2.
If anyone thinks that such a table would be abused to pick easy win races, I'm not so sure. Players who have been here very long already have a pretty good feel for the game. However, used properly, this chart would help struggling or beginning players pinpoint nations that cater to their competence or weakness. I know that I would have loved such a thing when I first started. Initially, I labelled some nations as nearly unplayable, such as Caelum, because I just didn't realize they require a solid understanding of the combat system to use effectively.
If that idea isn't shot down too handily by the old men of the forums, I may start another thread, and would even be willing to collate the data. Might even be arsed to learn enough about forum coding to make it look all purty.
