what are big endians and small endians?

The traditional way to break an egg, in the universe of Lilliputians and Blefuscudians, was from the larger end. The present emperor's grandfather cut his finger while breaking the egg from larger end for the breakfast. This incident of his boyhood resulted in the Emperor's father to publish an edict announcing "breaking-the-egg-from-smaller-end". There were numerous rebellions against this command. The accused were put in exile, where this population formed the island of Blefuscu, this population is also addressed by the title " Big- Endians". The population at Lilliput is called "Small- Endeans".
