I would find that a terrible idea for 2 reasons:
Why always referring to the construct of nations just to add some difference between (digital) people(?). Sometimes I am kind of disappointed by some members of the comunity for their ignorant nationalistic behavior bashing people just for being polish or chinese or whatever. What is the point of adding this "feature" to the game? Ensure that people get the "idea" that "people from different nations are different in their abilitys to fight or produce goods"? That would simply ignore that the way people of different regions produce or fight or look or talk does not result from different nations but different preconditions in geographie and society so the idea of nations having different way to produce goods or fight in different styles is just completly brain dead or so (excuse my language).
There are other ways to add some more flavor to the game than adding the stupid idea of nations, which leads me to my next argument:
If you want to add diffent flavors of production lines and warriors (what i guess was the motivation behind this) then you have to be absolutly sure that you balance everything well. In many cases diffent factions in different games mean that it ends up in one faction is better for this map and one for that and this one faction completly overpowered and this one is not even played by pro-players because it is to weak.
So please: Be sure to make a good balance to the whole system when adding different factions and flavors or everything will by screwed for ambitioned players that enjoy well balanced partys as we can see them in the current state of the game.
cheers,
