After researching the similarity of the ES Races and Real-World Cultures, I've come with these:

Nords = Vikings (Obvious since TES:Morrowind)

Imperials = Romans/Greeks (Obvious since their debut in TES:Redguard)

Orsimer = Huns (They are Barbaric and loves Chaos)

Dunmer = Maybe N. Korea and/or other Isolationist nations (They hate outlanders) and a bit of middle east (Moon-and-Star)

Altmer = Chinese (Their intelligence) and    Nazism (Their strong racism towards Humans and most beastmen except Khajiit (maybe))

Khajiiti = Middle East (Their common Caravans, Pre-Redguard names and they consider the moon(s) holy), Hindi (Architecture, and Sweet delicacy)

Dwemeri = Steampunk (Their technology)

Redguards = Middle East (Their names, clothings, architecture and names)

Bretons = British (Their culture and pre-Morrowind names), French (Post-Morrowind names) and Celts (Their reachmen cultures)

Akaviri = East Asians (Their armor and weapons)

Bosmer = Cannibal tribes (Their Cannibal cultures)

Argonians = Pre-Columbus South Americans (Their Architecture & tribal culture)
