There's nothing on that page that mentions "16 kingdoms",  or them living in peace. There is a note of how kingdoms in Elsweyr had combined, but that was in the Second Era. Well after the founding of the Ysgramor Dynasty. So if that's what you're talking about then no, Nords had still brought civilization before the Khajiit.
