Following certain gameplay choices... Spoilers ahead.

If the emperor dies, and the stormcloaks take Skyrim, I think they would form an empire after (if) defeating the Thalmor. Or not, they only seem to want Skyrim.

But that's how human have showed up to be. You dismantle an empire, at the same time another onee is formed.

The way it is I don't think the actual empire is going to last longer.
