I think Redguards are based off Arabians (their weaponary, clothing, physical appearance, etc), Bretons are based off British/English people (their culture - knights and mages and stuff), Imperials are based off Romans and possibly Italians, and Nords are based off Vikings, Norse Culture (Thor Odinson, etc) and Icelandic people.

Also, maybe Khajiit are based off Asian cultures (Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, etc).

IDK about the rest.
