When the Thalmor start a war again and the people need a strong symbol for morale, the Dragonborn will probably pull a Tiber Septim.

But for High King.. not Balgruuf, he leaves too much to his somewhat inapt steward. If the Imperials win, I'd say they probably want to forward Elisef, though a better choice would be Brina Merilis, she seems capable and has seen war first hand as a former Legate.

As for Jarls, kick Maven off the throne! Mjoll'd not do bad probably with Aerin as Steward! Just ask Ingun to poison her dear underappreciative mother and promise her the position of court mage. Give Hemming the meadery. Mjoll'd probably have Sibbi hung overnight.
