User blog comment:Tholanar/What would you do if you were the Emperor of Tamriel?/@comment-75.175.134.149-20140124091912

The first thing I would do as an Emperor is stage a mass genocide on all Dark Elves. I would put a law into effect giving all citizens of the Empire in any Imperial province the right to kill any Dark Elf they see on sight, no questions asked. If a citizen stabs a Dark Elf to death in the middle of a crowded city, it will be considered "obeying the law". I would then send delegates to Hammerfell and try to persuade them to once again become the Empire's allies, the first time since the Great War. I would still, of course, keep the White-Gold Concordat in place. Keep in mind I am not asking Hammerfell to join the Empire, I would only be asking for an agreement between us and that we may become allies. I would also send delegates to the Argonian State and possibly become allies. Once again I would not be asking them to cede to the Empire, but rather just for better relations. Through trading with Hammerfell and The Argonian State (consisting of Black Marsh and Morrowind) I would gather an army by putting a law into effect saying that all MEN between the ages of 16 and 40 join the military for at least 3 years. After I have assembled enough forces I would invade the eastern half of Elsweyr that borders Cyrodiil and Topal Bay, reclaiming it from the Aldmeri Dominion for the Empire. Politically I would ban all Altmer from becoming citizens of the Empire. All legal citizens of the Empire except for Dark Elves will be allowed to enter any city. I would do away with the Elder Council through means of force if they could not agree to step down, giving me absolute power. Through trade and military force I would first, as I have said, take over eastern Elsweyr and then send my army across the desert, eventually taking back the entire province. As I assume that the Aldmeri Dominion would be planning to stop me from taking Valenwood, I mobilize my nearly my entire navy and some of my army to invade the Summerset Isles from the south. If the Summerset Isles are retaken, my army will approach Valenwood from all possible directions and defeat the Aldmeri Dominion once and for all. Oh, and Skooma is legal.
