I would take up Whiterun, it is afterall the city that exemplifies what it means to be a "True Nord". I would side with the Stormcloaks and help chase the Thalmor out of Skyrim and reestablish Skyrim as a sovereign nation. The Empire has proven that it is willing to go back on their word (i.e. their agreement to Ulfric to allow Talos worship in Markarth), publically execute without a trial or hearing (i.e. Helgen), and outright abandon their own people (i.e. Hammerfell). Better that Skyrim be allowed to rule itself.

I would then begin building relations with Hammerfell, Morrowind, and Black Marsh and prepare an army to take the fight to Alinor. We don't need to kill them all, just crush them enough that they will abandon their plans to eradicate Man from Mundus. That would probably mean wiping out the Thalmor, crushing the Dominion's armies, and making them pay compensation for the damages they caused in the Great War (yes, even to the Empire).

Once the threat of the Dominion is wiped out, I could spend the rest of my days breakdancing in Dragonsreach.

I'm the Jarl of Whiterun. Holla' if you need me.
