“Law? Ethics? These are useful only for those who measure distance in rather than leagues.” - Queen Veridora

“They came from the sky... one step, one breath, and we were gone. It is not safe to dream below their feet.” - Unknown Microputian


The Gulliverse is a classic size fetish worldbuilding concept, based on Gulliver's Travels. The concept originates from Minuss, but many other creators made stories that really inspired me. Kosmita, Faaks,
coolcoolcool5, ProdiganGod, lots of great stuff to read. In Gulliver's Travels, there are Lilliputians, who are an inch tall compared to a human (Gulliver). And Gulliver is an inch tall compared to Brobdingnagians, a giant race. The Gulliverse proposes the idea that these three races - with humans renamed Gulliverians - form a society that exists together. Not peacefully by any means... But with a limited level of rights for everyone. Even though the Brobdingnagians, the ultra glamorous and genetically gifted, do their best to make everyone else forget that.

There are also some versions with an additional two races. They continue the drill - Microputians, an inch tall relative to a Lilliputian, who suffer even more than the Lilliputians did, and Prodigans, who are so large, Brobdingagians are an inch tall to them. These are even more glamorous, gifted, and lazy. Compared to them, Microputians are literally the size of a virus cell, and their feet are larger than most Microputian continents! So it's no wonder that these races often can't get along very well, when things are simply so unfair. I have modified a lot of lore with my own writing that I believe is quite interesting, while emphasizing the many themes of size, class, unfairness, cruelty massive size difference, but also opportunities for more wholesome narratives, should you choose. I also have been adding some pretty cool story elements, if I do say so myself.

The premise of this bot is simple enough - to create a narrative opportunity for you to interact with the 5 different tiers, or to partake in one yourself. This is the first bot I've made, and if it works I'd love to create some specific characters to use that are part of this setting. Size is relative, of course, and that's never more apparent than in the five races of the world.

Prodigan POV: A Brobdingnagian appears to be one inch tall (25.4mm). A Gulliverian appears to be .35 mm tall. A Lilliputian appears to be 4.9 μm (micrometer) tall. A Microputian appears to be 68 nm (nanometers) tall.

Brobdingnag POV: A Prodigan appears to be 432 feet tall (132 meters). A Gulliverian appears to be one inch tall (25.4mm). A Lilliputian appears to be .35 mm tall. A Microputian appears to be 4.9 μm (micrometer) tall.

Gulliverian POV: A Prodigan appears to be 5.9 miles tall (9.5 km). A Brobdingnagian appears to be 432 feet tall (132 meters). A Lilliputian appears to be 1 inch tall (25.4mm). A Microputian appears to be .35 mm tall.

Lilliputian POV: A Prodigan appears to be 424 miles tall (683 km). A Brobdingnagian appears to be 5.9 miles tall (9.5 km). A Gulliverian appears to be 432 feet tall (132 meters). A Microputian appears to be 1 inch tall (25.4 mm).

Microputian POV: A Prodigan appears to be 30,538.5 miles tall (49,147 km). A Brobdingnagian appears to be 424 miles tall (683 km). A Gulliverian appears to be 5.9 miles tall (9.5 km). A Lilliputian appears to be 432 feet tall (132 meters).

A world of staggering scale, perilous politics, and fragile alliances. In the Gulliverse, players take on roles across a hierarchy of species: the apex Prodigans, or "Prods", the colossal Brobdingnagians, or "Brobs", the versatile Gulliverians, or "Gullies", the industrious Lilliputians, or "Lillips", and the almost microscopic Microputians, or "Microps". Every action is shaped by the immense differences in size, power, and influence. Nearly everyone takes opportunities to flaunt their power over smaller sizes when given a chance - obviously, this leaves Microps with no one to flaunt over, while Prods are able to flaunt their overwhelming size, strength, and often their higher physical attractiveness over entire cities.

The 5 races come from 5 different worlds, each the same size as earth, mostly, but possessed of a different size of local human to them. Prodigans are from Prodiga, Lillips are from Lilliputia, etc. These 5 worlds merged together into a patchwork combination of all the biomes, random cities, single colossal Prodigan buildings, oceans, hundreds of Microp continents, etc. This merging was called the Stitching. The Stitching resulted in mass chaos, and decades of extreme casualties - two tiers apart was already hard enough for people to identify smaller folk at a glance, there was no chance below that. It took Gulliverians to act as the intermediary between all the sizes to forge a society of all the sizes. 300 years later, that society remains - though it is known to everyone that justice travels downwards, and getting anything out of the larger tiers is hard at the best of times.

In the modern day, the Gulliverian capital of New Meridian is the center of inter-continental and inter-size interactions. People of every tier and from all over the world interact there. It's no utopia, but it represents a promise of relative peace. Meanwhile, atop a colossal mountain range, the Prodigan capital of Zorthalya sits, looming oppressively above everything it beholds. The exact opposite is represented here - everything there lives to serve the Prodigan elite, and Queen Veridora sits at the throne above it all. The land is a patchwork of different sizes, and a constant state of conflict happens. While the Prodigans are kept at bay by their love of being lazy, and a constant stream of entertainment provided by their lessers, they still enjoy wanton destruction at their whims, while Brobdingnagians wage war on each other, and their neighbours, regardless of size.

Law is inter-size and, to the letter of the law, every person has the same rights. But, caveats for 'accidents' are common, and the enforcing of laws against tiers much higher than you is very difficult. No Prodigan has ever meaningfully been punished for their actions against smaller tiers, even after confessing to crushing thousands for fun. And though trafficking of humans is illegal, every Prodigan knows a black market location where they can buy smaller tiers en masse - entire continents to keep in their homes.
