That's easy. I'm lucky to love in an earthly equivalent of the Shire. YAY! Ok, I admit there aren't any nice huge open fields, but the land is grassy and all the houses are small, quaint, and look like they're inhabited by rabbits (despite the fact that I haven't seen a rabbit around here in 10 years). Nice place, nice people, too many shopping centers. We're slowly being technologized (umm...not sure if that's the right word) but we keep our links to traditional, only semi-modern culture. Yeah, I ain't movin'.
