Hobbits everywhere!

In my Anthropology class today we were discussing bands and tribes and their politcal systems.  Some of the students were having a hard time understanding, and one example that was used for Tribes was...Hobbits!  Yes, apparently the Hobbits would be considered a tribe, becuase they have no definate leadership, such as a chief, and a great deal of autonomy.  The Elves, on the other hand, would be considered a State.
It all comes back to Lord of the Rings.
