I see the Altmer as British in a way.

A great Empire (of sorts), conquered most of the known world etc. etc.

But I'd say the Altmer are Greek, with their art style, scienctific advances and knowledge.

The Dunmer.. I never really thought of what race they would be, but Japanese suits them.

I would put Bosmer as Eastern Native North Americans. The Eastern Natives lived in tropical forests along the coast, preferred bows, had a deeper connection with nature than other tribe types and even lived in trees sometimes.

What do you mean they don't eat steak? The Hindu's are insulting my godly Immortal Dragon God of Steak title.

If my calculations are correct, you will put Khajiit as Middle Eastern and Argonians as the Native South Americans who lived in swamps.
