The Summerset Isle and the United Kingdom

Post » Thu Jul 18, 2013 10:01 am

Is the SI linked coincidentally with the UK?

Just think about it. The Summerset Isle is an island located just West of the continent. The UK is an island in North West Europe. The UK was once a huge, strong empire that occupied many countries, effectively Christianizing them. The SI is kind of doing the same thing, only banning Talos.

Another point is how the Altmers speak. It's a Standard English accent.

Both nations enforced slavery within the countries they occupied.

Clearly there's a link between the two nations.

Except, many of those points apply even better to the Empire. Other then the island nation part.

You're grasping at straws.

Hmph, as an Englishman I find this to be slightly offensive; you forgot to mention our empire is the largest by land mass that this world has ever seen.

And you've made the fundamental error in believing that the Aldmeri Dominion in part of the timeline around the return of the dragon is the same Dominion of that in TESO.

Really? That was not clear. My offensiveness still stands.

And if you're putting on the tinfoil hat how was it that you missed linking Summerset Isle with the county of Somerset? I think there would be definite cause of alarm in it turns out a famous cheese was also made near a gorge.

Actually, no, it wasn't, the slightly over-looked Mongolian empire was a bit larger.

The British Empire, according to Wikipedia, states that that BE was 0.7 million km2 bigger.

Not only that, but the British Empire is taught as being the largest through out schools across the globe. I think we can safely say it's the greater in land mass

So is socialism, but that doesn't make it true.

The British Empire was known as the empire "on which the sun never sets". I think when you take into account Australia and the new world territories (both of which the Mongolians never even knew about), the Brits > Mongols. Sorry Superspy.
