User blog comment:IGotsAName/Empire vs Stormcloaks... Gray & Grey Morality? Really?/@comment-4895892-20120405032458

The Empire may have its faults but at least it allows all races equal freedom and without the empire who would stand against the Aldmeri? The Argonians? Without Skyrim all that would be left for the Empire would be High Rock unless they make ammends with Hammerfell.

I think this picture illistrates the problem quite nicely...
