Real islands in the far neigbourhood are nowadays the Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Australia) and Christmas Island (Great-Britain) and further south the pair Île Amsterdam (Amsterdam Island, Amsterdam or Nieuw-Amsterdam) and Île Saint-Paul at a distance of 85 km, which resemble the pair Blefuscu and Lilliput in the novel Gulliver's Travels.
