The Emperor of Lilliput is described as a partisan of the LowHeels, just as King George I employed
only Whigs in his administration; the Emperor's heir is described as having "one of his heels higher
than the other", which describes the encouragement by the Prince of Wales (the future George II) of
the political opposition during his father's life; once he ascended the throne, however, George II was as
staunch a favorer of the Whigs as his father had been.
The novel further describes an intraLilliputian quarrel over the practice of breaking eggs. Traditionally,
Lilliputians broke boiled eggs on the larger end; a few generations ago, an Emperor of Lilliput had
decreed that all eggs be broken on the smaller end. The differences between BigEndians (those who
broke their eggs at the larger end) and LittleEndians had given rise to "six rebellions... wherein one
Emperor lost his life, and another his crown".
