Payndoea isn't really a continent, its a series of islands and land shrouded in mist and is home to the Sea Elves. Traditionally, their Summerset Isles greatest rivals. Their still there, but the last time they attempted an invasion their fleet was destroyed in a storm accredited to the PSIJJICS.
Really, Tamriel doesn't fit Europe/Central Asia as well as you think. It's home to deserts, swamps, icelands, savannas ext. The only European esq land around is High Rock, and before Oblivion Cyrodiil was a rainforest/Jungle. Its completely unique from Europe and your not really going to get a 'this continent is this real world example' from TES.
edit: They didn't ask the PSIJJICS for help, everyone just assumes that a freak storm like that was their doing.
