I've been looking through the various lore sources to determine what Tamriel looks like in the 4th Era, after the Great War but before the Civil War (since its outcome is unclear).

This is the best map I could find: i.imgur.com/EqTR54B.png

It's speculative, since the fate of southern Morrowind after the Accession War is unclear. It's unknown if the Dunmer drove out the Argonians from the south, as all we know is the Redoran fought them to a standstill at one point. This map assume the Argonians still hold southern Morrowind, since its never mentioned that the Dunmer reconquered it.

Next is the state of Elsweyr. From what we know it was divided into two kingdoms, Anequina and Pellitine, though it is still referred to as "Elsweyr" by Khajiit despite being two seperate kingdoms now. While not technically part of the Dominion, the two kingdoms are "client states" of the Dominion, i.e they're independent in name only and are controlled by the Thalmor in reality.

Now to Morrowind's status as an Imperial province. In the in-game book "The Great War", it is referred to as a province of the Empire as of 4E 171, and is never mentioned leaving the Empire. Thus we can safely assume it's still an Imperial Provice, albeit reduced in size due to the Accession War.

Naturally Summerset Isles and Valenwood are part of the Dominion, Hammerfell is an indepenent kingdom, and High Rock/Skyrim/Cyrodiil are Imperial provinces.

If you have anything to add or correct me, I'd be glad to hear it.
