Blefuscu is an island nation located in the South Indian Ocean. Blefuscu is separated from the neighbouring island of Lilliput by an 800 yard wide channel. During a series of rebellions against the Lilliputian empire the empire of Blefuscu offered refuge to those fleeing Lilliputian persecution. The conflict arose out of dispute as to which end of a boil-egg it was appropriate to break. Blefuscan ambassadors accussed the Lilliputians of making a religious schism in breaking the smaller end of the egg, saying that one of the fundamental doctrines laid down by the prophet Lustrog in the Brundrecal was that the egg was to be broken on the convenient end.
