Comparison

Did anyone else notice that Gulliver said that the king's land was between Japan and California? I know this is a fictional narrative, but the Pacific Ocean is only about 6,200 miles from California to the countries on the ocean border of Asia. And the king's land extends about 6,000 miles. That means that there would be no ocean there, and that the giants in Brobdingnag could potentially walk east and take over the English colonies. The more you know.
