I agree with most of these, but I actually think that the Orcs would represent the Japanese better than the Altmer. Even though they're not on an island, they seem to isolate themselves a bit like ancient Japan did. They also focus heavily on weapons and armor like Samurai. Also, their concept of good deaths and all that. I think the Altmer are similar to acient Chinese people because they say they are better than everyone, and ancient Chinese people thought that China was the center of the world and that all other races were beneath them. Not being racist or anything lol
