The so-called evidences are none at all.

''Once again, the AD's populace of Altmer has never been high. It was what forced the Altmer Queen in ESO to make the Dominion in the first place: she was going to war with two other factions and the Altmer wouldn't be able to fight that war unless they had extra muscle.''

'''You do realized that there's the 3rd Aldmeri Dominion and there's no evidence to say they cannot get the other 2 provinces to act with them. There is no indication of the political situation nor there is any hint of their military or economic strength. Everything is your assumption, because you see this and this, you used your own opinions to manipulate the points into the Aldmeri Dominion can't do anything. That completely contradicts how the Imperial Legion view them serious enough to put up a show for them. '''

''The Empire remains economically strong: they have corporations like the East Empire Company splashing money all over the place, the Grey-Manes complain that Imperial allies in Whiterun are very rich due to ties with Imperial farming interests, and even confidants of the Jarls like Balgruuf noted how the Empire tried to bribe the Jarls to accept the White-Gold Concordat with "chests full of gold". Whereas the Aldmeri Dominion can't even sustain a campaign to hold on to Hammerfell, unlike the Empire which was at least able to retain the rich half of Skyrim.''

'''Chest full of gold doesn't mean anything. Or show the state of economy. '''

What are the other corporations and also how effective have the East Empire Company been in making money, what are the primary income, what degree of economic growth did it contributes ~ No evidence Hence bull

Exacerbated by what we see with the people of both countries: the Bosmer are reduced to servants and occasionally purged, the Khajiit are so poor that many would leave their own homes and trade with people who hate them just to make a buck, rather than stay in Dominion-controlled lands

'''What you see in Skyrim is not evidence at all as there will always be different races living in other races. That one NPC does not reflect the entirety of the Aldmeri Dominion, a collection of 3 Province potentially 4 million km² in size that has at least 27 major cities/megapolis'''

''The AD never had as numerous an army or a birth rate as the Empire had. They lost most of their army in the last war, and they can't even hold onto a ruined Hammerfell. Their so-called Skyrim Civil War only got the poor and corrupt parts of Skyrim to break off, which is actually good for the Empire, and their own people are languishing in squalor, with only the Altmer having any semblance of power. And with the loss of Hammerfell, it's quite obvious that said power is waning.''

'''Again evidence? Where was it mentioned directly or shown canonly at the events of 4E 201 ~ 202 that the population within the Aldmeri Dominion that was UNTOUCHED by the Great War being decimated. Aldmeri Dominion Provinces were not hit by the war. This is how things work, military is always 1~10% of the actual population. Going up to 20% and above is severe, foundation shaking. '''

'''But there were NO evidences of the Aldmeri Provinces committing more than what they did at the start of the Great War nor you should simply assumed that is all they can commit and that they have used up nearly 50% of their entire population for the Great War as there are no real evidence to indicate how much of their society was committed into the Great War. Everything you claimed to be evidence are not qualified to be evidence. They qualify as total Bull***t'''
