they can, and most likely do, station more soldiers within Highrock and Cyrodiil. I find that doubtful as the only way they were able to station soldiers in Skyrim at all was because of the civil war, ad even then, they could only get a few in.

In more peaceful provinces like High rock and Cyrodiil, the AD, and The Thalmor, don't have the "civil war" card to pull to force The Empire's hand into letting more solders into those provinces.

Logically, they should have less in those provinces, not more.
