I'd have preferred "Alliances," personally, but "Nations" works pretty well. Think of it this way: the Empire has fallen. With the Imperial line wiped out, there will be no re-establishing the Empire. The Rebels, as far as we know, aren't setting up a new government, they're just marauding around a lawless warzone. Any effort to restore peace is going to involve scrounging together survivors from the Imperial army, gathering allies, and creating a new nation from scratch. And that's exactly what a Nation will be - a bunch of Imperial holdouts banding together as a Nation.
