[X] Young - Thirteen or so. You tend not to be taken too seriously and get sent on easier missions, but if you manage to prove yourself you will find yourself advancing in no time. Also as you get older your years of experience will become more and more valued. [ Starting Stats -, Growth Rate +]
[X] The Kingdom of Albion - The last western monarchy around, and a constitutional one with most of the real power belonging to the parliament. However the crown was able to wrest control of the mecha girls under itself before they could be folded into the army like in most other nations. As such mecha girls are agents of the crown itself, answering directly to the current ruler. This elite status also let them have access to the top of the line in weaponry, armor, and support personnel. It also however means that there is a lot of inter service rivalry. What's more the kingdom's smaller size also limits the number of mecha girls available. making what they do have more of an elite strike force than a standing military unit. [Easy]
[X] Iris Libre - The military was wiped out by the Vichya, and Charlemé has fallen. But not all hope is lost. Though there are few of you, and your supplies and resources are low, you will take back your homeland and show these usurpers what happens to traitors. With the threat of having to fight Germania as well if they intervined most nations turn a blind eye to you, or turn you away from their borders; with force if necessary. Only a few nations are willing to grant you are supplies or safe passage, and even then it is on the down low. If you are going to topple this dictator ship you are going to be doing it yourself. [Lunatic]

[X] Germania - Eisenblut, "Iron blood" is what the Kaiser calls you. A military dictatorship naturally assures that any weapon that could object to serving them has plenty of incentives to remain loyal. Excellent pay, top of the line weaponry, and plenty of preferential treatment over even regular soldat all contribute to ones status as the military elite. One just had to be willing to be part of a fanatical military that is quite happy to keep its own citizens at heel. Then again most of the Eisenblut are just as fanatic as the other special forces, if not even more so. [Normal]
[X] Very Young - Less than thirteen. Such a compatibility is rare but valuable as it will give you more time to grow in mastery of your EC. In addition, having fused so young means you are able to learn at an accelerated rate. Prepare to be babied by your "big sisters" and not be allowed on any but the safest of missions...unless things get that bad.

[x] The Sakura Empire - An island nation with a long an honored military tradition.

[X] The Dragon Empire - A very large nation, it suffers from some serious issues. Namely it lacks a lot of modern infrastructure or technology, and its economy is very weak. What's more, several different rebellions are occurring within its boarders. To ensure they stay in control and to suppress such uprisings the Empire has done a massive mandatory screening nearly every month for the past three years and has drafted every EC compatible girl it could get its hands on. The result has been an absolute massive explosion of mecha girls, resulting in a force tens of thousands strong, bordering on expanding into the hundreds of thousands in just a few years. Such huge, intimidating numbers are somewhat undercut by the fact that most of these girls have very minimal training and substandard equipment. [Hard]
