Let's go through this step by step

Skyrim, Cyrodiil, Solstheim and Vvandenfell are obviously out.

Mainland Morrawind would be way too similar to Vvardenfell culturaly and geographically, so i can emagine the plot would be way to similar if it took place there. We've already had a game called Morrawind. Not to mention half the province blew up and the other half was taken over by Argonians. I don't want to see a game about killing Argonians, so there's really nothing that can be done there.

Argonia and Elswyr are both unlikely obtions for similar reasons, as said above. They are largely inhabited by ugly beast races that most people don't like to play as. So far TES has gotten by using human(ish) dominated provinces, so a beast province would feel way to alian and would be impossable to advertize to mature gamers.

A game set in High Rock wouldn't work for a multitude of reasons. Firstly it is too similar to Skyrim geographically, so we would have the same Dragon killing, Mountain climbing feel to it as we did in Skyrim. Secondly, it's the smallest province, about three times smaller than Skyrim. Thirdly, there are a bazillion tiny kingdoms in it. You probably woudn't be able to walk 100 yards without stumbling on a "kingdom" the size of Shor's stone. Not to mention the obnoxiously complex political situation there, with all of the "kingdoms" constantly fighting each other. I don't really see much of an opertunity there.

Valenwood may or may not work. It is highly forested, with cities built into giant trees inhabited by Bosmer (which would be amazing if it wasn't a rippoff of Kashik, Lothlorein and everything else in the world). It also is controled by the Thalmor, so it would be a great place for you to kick they're supperior asses if you want. But the dungions would sort of be scattered if not virtually nonexistant if the game took place there. To say nothing of what the green pact would do to the game mechanics. No vegitables, no fruit, no metal weapons, no armour and canniblism. Not exactly an optimal set of customs for the ideal TES 6.

Most people want the next game to take place in Sumurset or Hammerfell, and i agree. Both are mysterious, gammer friendly, culturally rich, geographically diverse, origenal and contain awsome lore concepts, creatures and oppertunities for quests. Not to mention that both sill most likely involve getting some payback against those pompous Thalmor @$&?s. Personally, i would have to choose Sumurset over Hammerfell. The Redguards arn't magic friendly at all and i think that Sumurset (home of the Psijic order) would work better for magic friendly players.
