I still say Black Marsh through Blackwood to Elsweyr. That's about 40% bigger than Skyrim, and there's a LOT about these provinces that we don't know. Maybe for DLCs, Valenwood and Pyandonea would be cool ideas.

As for Akavir, I dunno if you read the books you find or not, but there's a really interesting one about how the Tang Mo and Ka Po' Tun form an alliance and defeat the Tsaesci and Kamal, gaining control over Akavir. The Ka Po' Tun succefully transformed one of their leaders into a dragon, of sorts, and they plan on invading Tamriel.

In the 2nd Era, the Tsaesci's invasion forced the Nords, Dunmer, and Argonians to form an alliance, famously known as the Ebonheart Pact, in order to expel the invaders. Maybe if the invasion of the Ka Po' Tun (and their allies) interrupted some sort of war going on between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion, Man, Mer, and beastfolk would be forced together to save themselves from extinction. Also, the Ka Po' Tun's discovery that could potentially turn their kind into dragons might even call for another Dragonborn...

And instead of them invading from the South/East like the Tsaesci, they could invade from the North/East and the northern parts of Morrowind. Maybe the Akavir have some sort of connection with the beastfolk of Tamriel and plan on sparing them their lives, so the Men and Mer races are forced to turn to the beastfolk. Imagine, Khajiit standing against the tiger-like Ka Po' Tun, and the Argonians picking off enemies with their gorilla skills and poisons. The humans and elves would play a major part too, of course, but most of them would be refugees fleeing to the southern parts of Tamriel--

Man I wish I were a game writer...
