From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki

One of the five noble families in the Agatean Empire who wrestle for the rule of the Counterweight continent and periodically succeed in getting a member enthroned as Emperor.

The McSweeneys are a very old established family.

The others are the Sungs, Tangs, Hongs and the Fangs.

Annotation

The McSweeneys might even be described as a Noble House... refer to James Clavell's novel of the same name concerning the machinations of the founding families who built Hong Kong and established Anglo-Chinese trading dynasties
