Lilliput'sLocation

Global location of Lilliput.

Lilliput (IPA Pronunciation: [ˌlɪlɪˈpʊt], [lil-i-put]) is an island nation located in the South Indian Ocean. Lilliput is separated from the neighbouring island of Blefuscu by an 800 yard wide channel. The capital city of Lilliput is the walled city of Mildendo, located on the Western side of the island.[1]

Lilliput has been in conflict with the neighbouring nation of Blefuscu since the early 1600's. By royal edict it was made illegal to break a soft-boiled egg from the big end. The new law was highly resented and six rebellions were led on it's account, during which a Lilliputian emperor was killed and another overthrown.[2] The nation of Blefuscu offered refuge to those fleeing Lilliputian persecution.

Lilliputian and Blefuscan flaura and fauna are remarkably small, the average adult being no taller than six inches with other organisms similarly proportioned.
