How do you picture the different sides you see in M&B?
Personally I see the Swadians as roughly the medieval French. They are well organized and governed (unified), they have a strong king and nobility, they are Christians and quite religious.
The Vaegirs are more difficult to tell. I see them as more Eastern European. Maybe like the Germanic kingdoms. Their ruler is less supreme, there is a lot more conflict, more violence and more factions. They are also poorer (less good quality weapons, troops). They aren't as religious, perhaps they are Pagans and believe in a lot of different gods.
