And then the small Duchy saved the moon for mankind, as related in The Mouse on the Moon, when it reached there before the G.S. or the G.S.S.R. Once again it came to the rescue by taking and burning all the printed money in the United States, thus keeping the world's economy from collapse. This is still another story unaccountably left out of the history books but portrayed in The Mouse on Wail Street.
Now we bring you the Duchy's most extraordinary achievement, the defeat of OPEC and the happy solution to the world's oil crisis, which came about through the best that international diplomacy has to offer: duplicity and dumb luck. And it all began when the Count of Mountjoy, the prime minister of Grand Fenwick, was unable to get a hot bath because of the fuel shortage.
