the shire is a dead version of england, and the UK watch most of the same shows as you these days.
also I live there, and they seem to have no great love over here.

why do you care if there are no humans or dwarves?
the red-headed stepchild of the classic demihumans, they lack a place in the world a core definition or even a visual factor to get people to...
I find it sounds to high fantasy to think like that, but the dissolving social contract might be getting to me.
are elves an archetype then or have they utterly dominated one then?
depends on if they can only ever work there or are just front and centre there.
every block of rules should still be gameable in any homebrew would with minimal effort.
