Very true, and well explained. I personally have always held the view that Skyrim would be stronger on it's own, especially when one considers it's wealth, natural resources, and general fighting culture of it's people, though this can be an obstacle sometimes; it can be compared to Anglo-Saxon England before it's unification under Aethelstan I; the people were warlike and decent strategists, but were more concentrated on fighting each other than making peace.
