Near Harad is similar to the Ottomans and the cultures of Rhun and Khand are similar to more eastern nations, for example early Persia for the Wainriders/Balchoth (and I think they are the same who later appear in the War of the Ring) and Mongols for Khand. The far eastern factions (Japan, China etc.) are too far to participate in the War of the Ring.
