I don't mean to be insulting here (we are all academics in discussion here, there's no room for insult) but I can't believe that never occurred to you before.

There are some particular British Isles based comparisons to be made:
Hobbits- Welsh or SW England
Dwarves- I have always thought of as Scottish for some reason. More likely Norse or something
Elves- Nottingham, sounds crazy, but think of Robin Hood and you'll get there.

Those are my opinions anyway, maybe as State-siders you may not see the stereotypes I do. If anyone can think of any other comparisons to be made, then by all means do.
