Default Balanced Nations

I am thinking about starting a tournament style of dominions games of which a key feature would be randomly assigned nations. I want the pool of assigned nations to be as balanced against each other as possible. To keep it simple, I plan on using the Six Lands map and only require six nations for each age.

So, I am seeking suggestions. Keep in mind that nations are ideally blanced at all stages of the game. The balance does not have to be perfect, but pairing a heavy rush nation like Vanheim with a late bloomer like Pythium is bad balance (for my purposes). Also, no underwater start nations.

I am looking for suggestions for any ages. Explanations for why you chose the nations you did are also appreciated.

To get started:
Mictlan
Niefleheim
Vanheim
Lanka
Fomoria
Sauromatia

I chose these EA nations because they are for the most part the bless powerhouses. This should result in a lot of combat right from the getgo in which nations can participate on relatively even footing depending on their bless. Thoughts?
