My story is that of a traveler who goes off into many different islands and finds nations whose inhabitants are of different origins than Gulliver. The first island was of the Lilliput, who were of the same proportion but a substantially smaller size than Gulliver. They were very smart engineers but held to very strange reasoning for obtaining a government office and for starting a war. The next island was Brobdingnag. These individuals, like the Lilliput, were the same proportions as Gulliver but were substantially large. These people didn't like the idea of war. When Gulliver proposed to instruct them in the creation of black powder, the king denied stating that there is no reason that anyone should hold that type of power and that it would lead to more destruction than good. The king also told Gulliver that the only reason they had a militia that trained intensely is so that factions would not be created and cause a civil war.
That is a very quick synapse of the first part of my book. The next should be very soon.

Good summary, but I wanted more of your opinions with examples to support you. What are your first reactions? What do you think about the humor so far? etc...
