There are many things unrealistic about Skyrim.

From main Quest to Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC, it should take 3 years or more for the Main Quest and all DLCs to finish if you factor in traveling and other things. There is no cars in that time even Horses need to eat, drink and rest.

If you factor in how the farms are too small and inadequate, Skyrim will need to be at least 100 times bigger, more populated and need much more infrastructures for the cities, towns, villages, hamlets and rest stops to function properly in turn let the province function like a country.

Skyrim in the game wouldn't last for 3 days as a country due to serious shortage of food.

In this scenario, the country needs to have much more villages, towns, cities and a few hundred Hamlets or Rest Stops such as Inns, Restaurants, Lavatories etc between settlements, scaling number of Forts, bandit hideouts and their sizes. This will at least allow Skyrim to have a civil war on the grand scale of thousands.

It is to my understanding that the Imperial Legion should have at least 90,000 soldiers or more from the Wikia here. Which means the Empire's grand scale is by the tens of thousands to hundred thousands. If you combine Cyrodiil which is the center of human Civilization in Tamriel with Skyrim and High Rock using this scale, they can indeed fit into this grand scale. There are other details I am not going into because it will just give some 109,156 or 89,355 or something values to fit into the 91% and above accuracy scales.

Then audience with the Jarl. Jarls are like Rulers of their respective lands in form of Holds. Audience with the Jarl is simply too easy. I am surprised the Jarls were not killed by suicide warriors long before we meet them. Even if the Nords are not so particular about formalities, they should still practice some especially if they don't know you and there is a civil war going on.

Now I look back, this is a waste of time.
