Of course they still exist.

Sure aren't doing a very good job on that, the elves are killing as they please and the Imperials are doing nothing to curtail it. What he is saying is that if the empire died it would send Tamriel into another Interregnum leaving all provinces to fend for themselves except the Aldmeri Dominion which only gains power from this happening. But an empire did arise to challenge the AD, it's just not the old/real one sadly. It's a weaker version of the old one but still the same empire. I don't see why you hate Titus Mede II so much, he was actually a pretty good emperor. So it has a Dragonblood Emperor?

The Mede's are a family of Colovian warlords whose claim to power was threathening to torch the Capital until the Council surrended the throne to them.

My beef/hate with him is that he is an illegitimate ruler.

If he called himself steward or custodian I'd have no proble with him in fact. Illegitimate ruler or second interregnum, your call. No ruler would usurp a throne just to name themselves steward or regent, had the Medes done so none of the provinces would take him seriously and probably split apart.
