We don't need every nation to be 'nice' and there's absolutely no reason why Varis or Regula couldn't turn out to be unlikely allies. It's not a guarantee, certainly, but I don't think anybody is in a position to say with complete faith what will and will not happen as the story moves forward. Then again I'd like to think that the story isn't going to be completely predictable and 'cookie cutter' where 'good guys' and 'bad guys' are concerned.
