Another provision, banning Talos worship, caused a rift and eventual Civil War in Skyrim, homeland of the Nords. It included the Empire ceding large parts of Hammerfell, home of the Redguards, to the Dominion, which caused Hammerfell to immediately secede. They settled for the White-Gold Concordat, a peace treaty with terms heavily favorable to the Dominion. After initiating the Great War with the Empire, they found that the Empire was not as weak as they thought. They practice Divide and Conquer tactics, and initiated Enemy Civil Wars, first by goading the Argonians into attacking Morrowind, home of the Dunmer, in revenge for thousands of years of slavery. They assassinated Potentate Ocato, the de-facto leader of the Empire and very much a Reasonable Authority Figure in order to (successfully) destabilize the Empire.

The Dominion outright annexed Valenwood, home of the Bosmer (Wood Elves) (in a way very reminiscent of the Anschluss), and later used Blatant Lies and/or Stealing the Credit to get Elsweyr, home of the Khajiit, to join as a vassal nation. Militarily and diplomatically, the Thalmor initiated an aggressive policy and, through various machinations, robbed the declining Cyrodiilic Empire of numerous provinces.The Nazi parallels of the Thalmor are impossible to miss, to note: During the 200 year Time Skip following the events of the Oblivion Crisis and before Skyrim, the Thalmor, an Altmeri (High Elf) religious extremist organization, seized control of the Altmeri government and re-formed the Aldmeri Dominion of old.After it turns out the higher-ups rejected the idea (which didn't stop Alrik from forging ahead on his own) one companion cheerfully tells the resident mage rights activist that it turned out not to be the holocaust he thought it was. The Templars of Kirkwall in Dragon Age II have elements of this, with the most blatant example being Ser Alrik and his ' Tranquil Solution' to give magical lobotomies to all mages.By the 1980's, they've devolved into sexism as well, persecuted their own elites for having reasonable opinions about the overly-violent conquest, and have used said time travel to torture prisoners with 'quantum imprisonment' and conquer other Earths. They also worship their leader to the point of forking over 50% of all economic profits to him, and will sit down and pray while a terrorist is busy gunning them to death just because their leader told them to, and despite their secessionist origins they are obsessed with conquering the world.

They're super-racists who enjoy stoning interracial couples with baseballs, forcing inhumane conditions on the working class, indoctrinating/imprisoning their own children until they believe in the cause, et cetera. BioShock Infinite is basically what would happen if the Ku Klux Klan got ahold of time-travel technology, and used it to emulate the Nazis but with 1900's American culture.All of its military are modeled off of Nazi infantry, vehicles, and aircraft and the same feeling of superiority and inferior races exists between Xylvania and other countries. The Xylvanians from Battalion Wars are a theme park version of it and WWI Imperial Germany.
