Thing is, the Shire was a hereditary monarchy, they just didn't call their ruler a king - it was Thane. Pippin was in line for and did eventually inherit the title.
There's also Buckland, the small offshoot of the Shire ruled by the Master of Buckland, and of course this title was inherited by Merry.
