you got fucking kings, Torygg, Helseth, living gods of the Tribunal.... under an "Emperor"? who puts some garrisons around but does.... what exactly?
theres an "East Empire Trading Company"? whats that do?
it kinda seems like a holy roman empire, kinda seems like a regular roman empire. they've got knights, dukes, but a Legion...
yes i know the answer is technically "these jackoffs just made it up as they went" and don't care a lick about political theory but this is exactly the kind of excercise that makes fun speculative historiography
how does the soul cairn keep people... forever? but enchantments reduce on use? how do dwemer animonculi still run on a 3 milennia old skeever soul?

"As the books and other artifacts in Dwemer ruins rarely show signs of wear or age, I believe that the Dwemer knew of a preservative effect, perhaps a device still active which denies or controls the Earth Bones governing time and decay." (Baladas Demnevanni), and also "In their denial of both phenomena and noumena, the Dwemer found comfort in the creation of Animunculi, which in their operation, combined two incompatible principles, thus denying both." (ibid)
I reject the notion that centurions are powered by standard enchantment, and any souls present in the loot tables have been placed there by impish Daedra
The soul gem doesn't directly power the automaton itself at least according to this journal in Skyrim.
