I rather THOUGHT that was what you were intending, but the criteria you were offering leads me to think that you have a rather different idea of "fairness" than I do. Mechanisation and efficiency against one's enemies? Mechanization, as the Shire demonstrates, really wasn't one of Tolkien's conception of "fairness", and efficiency against one's enemies smacks of Stalinism or Hitlerism to me...

Now that you have clarified what you want, I must ask: do you think that human realms cannot match Elven ones? Because in the above quote you have limited it to the Elvish kingdoms?

Furthermore, I should think it quite plain that Valinor is the fairest of realms...

Or did you mean to say in Middle-Earth?
