In the grand sceme of things how important and wealthy is Black Marsh as a nation. Has it got any economic infrastructure. Do people in Black Marsh trade with money or do they use a barter system. Does it have industry apart from fishing and possibly wood cutting.

How do the Argonians treat other races. Do they enslave the other races of Tamriel and force them to do work so they don't have to.

The point I am trying to make is that the Argonions are very primitive beings in my mind and remind me of Central American cultures. This is because of the area they live in and part of their culture. I don't think the Aztecs or Mayans used money so if I am correct the Argonions won't use money either.

Of course this only applies to native argonions who live in Black Marsh. I have seen use money in Skyrim and Oblivion.

In summary is Black Marsh classed as a important location for the Aldmeri Dominion and if it is why. I'll answer these questions:

Considering that Black Marsh has a lot of Daedric Weapons and armor and make fortunes selling slaves, I would say they're doing great.

They enslave other Argonians, atleast tribes like the Archeins do. Other then that, I don't think they do.

Central American cultures were extremely advanced, especially in things like architecture, mathmatics, etc. So if they are based on Meso-American people then odds are they're pretty advanced.

Odds are it would be considered important to the Isles, not only for their Tamrielic conquest but because the Hist Tree may be a tower. But the thing is, the Aldmeri Dominion is simply not strong enough to invade a province like Black Marsh. Not even the Daedra could do it! How would a bunch of Elves?
