During the Oblivion Crisis, the Septim Empire abandoned Morrowind to re-deploy those legions in Cyrodiil. This is what led to House Hlaalu (staunch Empire supporters) being kicked off the Council of Great Houses and having their Great House status revoked. In essence, the Septim Empire abandoned them like the Mede Empire did Hammerfell. making it more likely morrowind will join the Aldmeri The only countries that would join the AD already are in the AD; The Altmer hate The Dunmer for being Daedra worshippers, and The Dunmer would more likely fight the Altmer for the same reason they fought the Dwemer when they where the Chimer, the Altmer is trying to reach divinity through sacrilidges means. The Argonians will not join the AD, they never even joined the Empire in the first place, they only allowed the Empire to set up outposts near the borders of Blackmarsh, and they'd most likely see the AD as a threat, and if that were to happen they'd wipe out any ships near their shores, which would narrow Cyrodiil's invasion rate to almost 0.

for your invasion of Highrock idea to work you'd have to expect that the Bretons wont buy off thousands of bandits and sellswords.

and don't forget that the Khajiit and Bosmer hate eachother, they might end up fighting themselves in a prolonged war, which as you should know, Guerilla warfare tends to create.
