Not sure what I think of this, but then, perhaps we should have hired him back when some of us were were building Tolkienia!

Do tell :)
I like the map project you have linked to because it is great to see people having fun - I get the feeling Tolkien certainly did. And for all hobbits' love of tamed countryside, I think they would have liked national parks too. Even homebody Sam knew landmarks in the woods for 20 miles around. "Still round the corner we may meet a sudden tree or standing stone that none have seen but we alone..."

Tolkienia n : about or relating to J.R.R. Tolkien or his works?

"Mightiest of mighty nations!
Hail, hail, Tolkienia!
Land of the brave and free!"
******************************************
I met a Balrog on the stair.
He had some wings that weren't there.
They weren't there again today.
I wish he would just fly away.

Where were you when we were constructing the anthem, back in 2013!?

Wedge it in here anywhere you like. 
Here's the original music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5IUkIu1Zx4
Hail, Tolkienia!
Chorus
All Ha-il to Tolkienia,
Let us all proclaim our love,
Of our glorious suburban banks and braes.
Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford
Tooks play golf upon the greensward;
All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise!
Verse (Tune I)
Here in So-uth Woodham Ferrers we are safe from changeling bears,
As we amble past the trees of Arwen's Grove.
We pick up a lunch at Curlew's, sail off from Eyotts club,
To navigate the falls of Dimrill Stairs.
Chorus
All Ha-il to Tolkienia,
Let us all proclaim our love,
Of our glorious suburban banks and braes.
Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford
Tooks play golf upon the greensward;
All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise!
Verse (Tune II)
Drawn by it's mellow byways,
We meander on our bikes,
To discover nooks and crannies
Or adventure that We likes (Precious).
Chorus
All Ha-il to Tolkienia,
Let us all proclaim our love,
Of our glorious suburban banks and braes.
Here, just south a bit from Chelmsford
Tooks play golf upon the greensward;
All hail to Tolkenia, thee we praise!

"I remember it well." And the grand entrance from another location. (Those are some sopranos!)
We should have invited the Marx brothers to join the government, and bring in some sanity.
