I think I counted a secondary world
as being SFF even if it may as well
be Earth - Earth gravity, moon,
present-day species of life - but
an imaginary but not extraordinary
country doesn't count. Am I making
Lilliput be SFF? I think I am.

I'd certainly count _Gulliver's Travels_ as specfic. People one-twelfth
the size of ordinary humans? People twelve times our size? Flying cities?
Living forever (if you can call it life)? Talking horses?
