Definetly an interesting idea, although, easier said than done, especially with the scale involved.

Nevertheless, current speculation is that Mistral is based off of Early Northern European (Nordic areas)/ Viking Era, so I could see perhaps their units being a bit more melee-focussed and heavy. Perhaps akin to Space Marines or Orks, depending on how the numbers work out.

Atlas, on the other hand, is based off of more modern countries (Japan/Germany/America, by some counts), so I actually think they would be akin to the Tau from 40K - very ranged dependant, perhaps with specialists for dedicated melee support. Alternatety, they could function akin to the Imperial Guard - lotsa troops, lotsa bullets, not much compared to real fighters. They are the only standing military still around.

Vale seems to be based off of later European (perhaps post-industrial) eras, and they seem to be the Venice of Remnant. I would almost say that they would be an Eldar-esque playstyle, with deception and tactics playing a lot more of a role than numbers and brute force.

Vacuo seems to be based off of an almost spaghetti western view of America, so I'd think their units would be a lot more mobile and be more balanced towards skirmishes. (Think Dark Eldar)

I feel like the Grimm would be roaming mobs, not a playable race. Lore seems to suggest they just show up where there's pain and strife. (Heck, they'd make a good pirate faction that just screws things up on occasion.)

I feel almost like the White Fang should be playable, but vastly different from the nations. Focussing more on espionage and diplomacy, their ground battles would probably play out more like a DOW:2 or XCOM match than anything. Small squads utilizing stealth and occasionally brute-forcing small areas to achieve their goals. The White Fang is a terrorist organization, not a dedicated force.

I feel like something akin to a TW franchise system would work well, perhaps with White Fang being a seperate DLC or game unto itself. (Could actually be an interesting Wii U  game - four/five players on the screen, one player on the tablet moving secretly.)
