Canon lore says a lot of things. Including the Elves have longer lives. Barenziah herself had quite a number of children too. Longer lifespan comes with average higher quality individuals and chance to give birth to more. It evens up. There's no statement to say otherwise.

So far what we gather from Canon Lore is the Empire wants to put an end to the Civil War and prepare for another war with Aldmeri Dominion. There's no substantial information about the current situation within the Aldmeri Dominion. Do you understand? No canon information about the circumstances in AD to make all your daring claims into facts.

Hence: What we know and can confirm: Empire has 3 Provinces, 1 of them weakened at Start of TESV because Skyrim was fighting a Civil War

Aldmeri Dominion last checked they have 3 Provinces.
