The two islands are neighbors in the South Indian Ocean, separated by a channel eight hundred yards wide. Both are inhabited by tiny people who are "not six inches high", i.e., about one-twelfth the height of ordinary human beings. Both kingdoms are "empires", i.e. realms ruled by a self-styled emperor. The capital of Lilliput is Mildendo.
