If they said 'all of the mediterranean cultures and mythological pantheons against russia' and then added 'oh wait no majik users and you only get the weakest nations' then it would look like you had an agenda. That's a problem.
This means that the people of Middle Earth have the magic of Numenor and the first age, they have more people than the US has bullets and they have Wizards. This is within reach, and a open military confrontation in which nukes are ignored (for whatever reason- maybe the US wants to keep Middle Earth for itself) they have a good chance for victory. [/B]
Are they 100% immortal? If yes, then they are above Sauron. If no, then the USA can deal w/them. And let's say that middle earth takes the place of europe (they have a similar structure). How do they beat the USA then? Or even if they are right next to each other, how do they beat tanks?
OK, what about this:
The USA is on the edge of the middle earth world, and both sides are trying to get at eachother. They are about the length of half of the atlantic away. Who wins? (if this senario is too spitish for you, then Middle earth takes the place of South America and in between the two is unpopulated (no Mexico or anything, I mean it's there, but not populated in this senario)
