Herman Moll: A map of the world shewing the course of Mr Dampiers voyage round it from 1679 to 1691, London 1697. Cropped region near the fictional island Lilliput. Swift was known to be on friendly terms with the cartographer Herman Moll[citation needed] and even mentions him explicitly in Gulliver's Travels (1726), chapter four, part eleven. The pair of islands center left on the map are Île Amsterdam (Amsterdam, seemingly corresponding to Blefuscu) and Île Saint-Paul (Saint Paul Island, corresponding to Lilliput) to the north and south, respectively.[citation needed]

Lilliput and Blefuscu are two fictional island nations that appear in the first part of the 1726 novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. The two islands are neighbours in the South Indian Ocean, separated by a channel 800 yards (730 m) wide. Both are inhabited by tiny people who are about one-twelfth the height of ordinary human beings. Both are empires, i.e. realms ruled by an emperor. The capital of Lilliput is Mildendo. In some pictures, the islands are arranged like an egg, as a reference to their egg-dominated histories and cultures.[citation needed]
