Gondor is absolutely nothing like America in hardly any sense. Come on people...

Mordor was symbolic, and thus was not based on anyone. There was no volcanic land hundreds of thousands of square miles large east of Italy or Egypt. I'm also fairly convinced, but pardon me if I'm uninformed, that there were no hordes of Orcs living in Arabia. I don't know. Maybe the massive amount of history books i've read just leave out that massive detail.
