      It should very much be noted that the imperials, despite the facade of cosmopolitan diversity, do engage in a lotta the same colonialist policies both in of assimilation (they push the cult of the nine on basically everyone and demand they join the imperial economy), Cyrod-centrism and the like.

      We should of course all be supporting the goblins and rieklings in their struggle against the genocidal elves, lizards, cats and hairless monkeys

      The Imperials are not nearly cool enough to be the Soviets, they're a decadent Monarchy with an all-powerful aristocratic class.

        Imperials are more bourgeois-ified than aristocrats afaik.

        Late Septim empire was more 1500s/1600s but with magic than ancient roman (The ancient romans are the Remans).

        This is most evident in Morrowind, but even in Oblivion there's stuff like printing presses, near daily papers, etc. This is also clear in Skyrim when one approaches locations associated with trade (e.g. Windhelm or Solitude) and meets bourgeois-aristocrats such as Vittoria Vicci owner of the East Empire Company.

          Riften has a capitalist more powerful than the Jarl, wealth beginning to supplant hereditary title would fit that time frame comparison.
