    The Lilliputians.

    Explanation:

    Jonathan Swift's satirical story of "Gulliver's Travels" shows the imaginary kingdoms of various multiple personalities. Through the many characters and their diverse ways, Swift satirizes the society and political situations of his time.

    And the first voyage that Gulliver undertook led him to the kingdom of Lilliput where the people are small, compared to his physical appearance. This small and short stature of the Lilliputians is Swift's way of indirectly satirizing the people of England who, he thinks, are small minded and insignificant corrupt politicians. The English society. according to him, is a petty group who thinks only of their appearances and care less about being humane and caring for others.
