ive been to the shire in New Zealand, seen the actual sets, been inside the hobbit holes, got leaves from the fake oak above the baggins hobbit hole, as well as a pine cone from the party tree, which is dying, is probably dead by now, and when it falls down its wood will be made into merchandise.

Yeah... xD
New Zealand doesn't have that much that's big and world known. Like, we have the guy that invented bunjy jumping, and zorbing, but no one really recognizes us for it. The jet boat, we had the first person to split the atom, even the guy that invented jogging. When we have things like Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, King Kong, the Rugby World Cup, things that are kind of shoved in the worlds face saying "MADE IN NEW ZEALAND" people know that we're an awesome country, no matter how small we are. The whole country gets excited for this kind of thing. xD
Plus, they're good for the economy *thumbs up*
Just going to point it out, Weta Digital, which is a New Zealand company, made the graphics for LotR, the Avengers, King Kong, Prometheus, Tintin, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, etc

dont forget we have the first man to climb mount Everest, and the Giant squid specimen we have preserved, and the last dinosaur (tuataras).
also weta did the district 9, and their own steampunk scifi gun wielding comic series called professor zorbigullaghjsjjghafa cant remember his name.
