Based on what we know so far...
1) Realistic Vision
- American Reclamation Corporation is USA + Canada. Why Canada? Because seriously Canada you can't just sit on Earth while Australia has its (almost) own faction
- Brasilia is, well, Brazil, as we don't know which countries did it conquer
- People's African Union includes all African countries (nice red communistic color)
- Slavic Federation includes all Slavic nations + few countries which look good inside these borders
- You may wonder why Franco - Iberia includes so many European countries?
Well, I have a theory that Franco - Iberia doesn't mean FRANCE + SPAIN but rather
'Neo Frankish Kingdom'. Which extends beyond old kingdom's borders a bit but not too much. You have to admit this is cooler than random 'France + Spain confederation'. Also this solves another problem - France and Spain alone look woeful when compared with all other huge factions... Almost entire Western Europe makes more sense when facing for example united Eastern Asia
- Kavithan Protectorate, India is obvious country. Bangladesh IMHO has no future in case of sea levels rising so may as well be added
- Panasian Cooperative. Obviously China, we know it probably includes Korea and Japan, Vietnam is culturally close to China, we know that Daoming Sochua has Chinese - Cambodian origin. Thailand and Laos included, not sure about Burma.
- Austronesia, uh, I mean Polystralia. IMHO Indonesia is necessary here (it seems somewhere Indonesia was confirmed in this faction, wasn't it?) Philippines fit more here than anywhere else. Malaysia is Muslim and closer to Indonesia than to Indochina.
2) Extended Vision (2 more factions to fill the map )
Middle East - The Crescent Company
Spanish America - Patria Grande Association
By the way, Estimated Population for Each BE Faction - data estimated for 2050 (and my 'realistic vision' borders )
American Reclamation Corporation ~450 millions
Brazil ~260 millions
People's African Republic ~2 billions o_o
Franco - Iberia ~370 millions
Slavic Federation ~250 millions
Kavithan Protectorate ~1,6 billions
Panasian Cooperative ~1,6 billions
Polystralia ~560 millions (because Indonesia and Philippines )
I feel here serious problem of Middle Eastern and Latin American absence
The Crescent Company ~800 millions
Patria Grande Association ~500 millions

You know what? I will create 'Beyond Earth' Civ5 geopolitical scenario once we will know details about factions
