You could always use the Peters Map to show the actual area instead of the 3D weirdness of the Mercator Map

Yes, you could. But you would be surprised how big Africa actually is when, as kids, we always saw that map showing it smaller than North America. Africa is HUGE! Also, Greenland is tiny...

Lets not go there.

Elves, Dwarfs and hobbits DO NOT I repeat Do NOT count!!

You are right, and we also don't count the visitors because eventually we send them back ..... or feed them to the Goblins.

According to Wiki NZ has 268,021 km² and Belgium at 30,528 km² of land

even little old England is half the size of the land of Hobbits 130,395 km²
