But the Empire could just as easily retain the population of Morrowind with Skyrim and High Rock and with the help of LITERALLY ANYBODY but the Mede bloodline, rebuild the Empire.

The Aldmeri Dominion has it's allies (which are all former Imperial provinces) because of lies and deception by the Altmer to break the Empire as punishment for Talos' victory in Valenwood. The Aldmeri Dominion and it's allies want to completely erradicate the Empire and it's original Emperor.

Fighting for Talos (if that's what the Stormcloaks are actually doing) would be pointless if you didn't fight to preserve the Empire that made him a god in the first place.

Personally though, I support the idea that Tiber Septim was a great man, and a great emperor, but that didn't make him a God. But, I still absolutely hate the Dominion.
