You people are kidding me right? You are honestly those people who think a Republic/Democracy is the only moral choice, in that case look at Morrowind. I rest my case. To clarify, my views don't promote Monarchy (well, yeah they do, but beside the point) but in my view, they don't have to be bad.

That said, the monarchy here is starting to lose it's touch and all, but it also has to do with the people not being tough enough to accept any of the decisions (or at least keep things the way they were and worship in an open secret), *note, excludes Hammerfell, they can take their home, but at least forgive the bastards, they were in a bad position as it was*, but you forget Skyrim is not a Republic or a Democracy, it is an Elected Monarchy (which has it's own subsection away from the two). And even then, it is still complicated by Nord traditions of succession, so it wouldn't be exact (what with the Jarls and what not). And the White Gold Concordat would, in fact, not be illegal in this world simply because it would be illegal in our world (this is not our world by the way). A Republic/Democracy makes its own laws, not the ones we think every Republic/Democracy should, and if the Empire was that and had to sign the treaty to outlaw Talos, they would have done so just as fast as any King or Emperor.

But we were talking about completely conquering Tamriel right?
