Hello all. My name is Sowulo, a peaceful Cathay-Raht Khajiit. I am new to these forums and this is my first post.

So anyways, what do you guys think is the most powerful province as of 4E 201 when Skyrim takes place. If you can, make a list. 1-10, 1 being the most powerful. I think Skyrim or Cyrodiil wont be very high on this list because they have suffered much damage from wars. IMO Argonia would probably be the most powerful, they have the Shadowscales and their territory is impenetrable. Even the Daedra couldn't get past the swamps. Plus the Argonians must have gotten many resources when they sacked Morrowind.

"Powerful" is a pretty vague term, and there's absolutely no way to rank them from 1 to 10. Military prowess, social influence, political power, wealth, ect. are all separate and extremely difficult concepts to conflate.

Sorry, i'll be more specific. Suppose all the provinces went to war with each other, no allies, just every province for itself. Which province will be most likely to win? Give a 1-10 list.
