Lilliput is a fictional island nation from Jonathan Swift's satirical novel, Gulliver's Travels, published in 1726. It is inhabited by tiny people, known as Lilliputians, who are about six inches tall. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a shipwrecked sailor, who finds himself in this strange land, where he encounters the unique customs and politics of the Lilliputians. The society of Lilliput is characterized by its complex political system and conflicts, often reflecting the absurdities of human behavior. The Lilliputians engage in wars over trivial matters, such as the correct way to break an egg, highlighting Swift's critique of contemporary politics and human folly.
