The four original nations of NF:
USA - "Balanced", "Great AA" (actually, pretty bad AA, but good AAW FWIW) KM - "Range", "Speed" (actually, half-mm range difference at top-tiers, slow speed) IJN - "Great Torps, Diverse CVs" (but the CVs suck and the BBs are neglected) UK - Easy Mode
Hardest BB - KM is easier early, IJN is easier later (generally speaking), but both are pretty hard
Hardest CV - UK & IJN
Hardest Subs - KM is to subs as the UK is to BBs
Overall: IJN is probably the hardest nation. KM takes skill for BB, but its strengths are tremendous for those who know how to play them (especially at CL/CA/BB1-3) and the KM has great CV and SS
