If faction power was decided on lore, Mordor would hands down be more powerful then all other factions in the game put together. Not necessarily. Mordor alone relies on the Nazgûl and Sauron. As shown in the Battle of the Morannon, as soon as these go the armies are lost. Realistically speaking, Lothlóriën alone could almost resist them. Sure, with Nenya. But to take Nenya out of the picture is to take Sauron out of it. If Elrond and Aragorn had united with Galadriel in an attack, I would say there's not a whole lot of chance that Mordor could survive. The reason this didn't happen, though, was that Dol Guldur was doing quite well to split everyone up. Failing on its assaults, but largely doing its job. However, just saying Mordor would win is, well, silly. Take the other evil factions out of the picture and Mordor is utterly crushed.
