Fellowship of the Shire Independence

After destruction of The Ring, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin radicalized and went on another quest, to declare the Independent Republic of Shire

Four armed men are shown standing in a grassy mountainous landscape, humorously presented as Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin after destroying the Ring. The joke reimagines the peaceful hobbits as radicalized guerrillas launching a new quest for Shire independence, so it is used as an absurd political reaction to rebellion or separatism.
