Pardon me, but yes it does. Mede Empire is held seperate from the Septim Empire, besides the difference in dynasties. I am unsure whether you checked the wikia link at all.

In essence, they may be similar and play all the same roles as in the other Elder Scroll games, they are in fact different if you care enough about the lore to make the distinction.

In the Septim Empire wikia page:

"The Empire went for 15 more years before the death of Chancellor Ocato which cause a brutal civil war in Cyrodiil and ended when the Colovian warlord Titus Mede conquered the Imperial City and took over what was left of the Empire and a new empire was born."

This statement clearly describes an difference between the two empires, and is pretty much the main reason why I spoke out concerning them being the literal same empire.

Now, may we end this argument and return to the main conversation?
