The Lilliputians inhabit the first island Gulliver visits. They all
stand about six inches tall, with proportionally tiny buildings and
trees and horses. The Lilliputians are ruled by an Emperor who appoints
his high court officials according to their skills with rope dancing
rather than their actual abilities. In other words, they're not exactly
governed according to rational principles. The court of Lilliput mostly
seems to spend its time plotting against one another. Gulliver,
unfortunately, forms one of the primary targets of these plots. His
enormous size makes him both expensive and dangerous for the Emperor to
keep, so, even though he has made himself useful in Lilliput's wars
against Blefuscu, Gulliver eventually has to flee the country to avoid
having his eyes put out.
