The "War" with the U.S.: In the foundational story, The Mouse That Roared, Grand Fenwick faces bankruptcy and declares war on the United States as a strategic ploy to lose, surrender, and receive generous foreign aid to rebuild. However, due to a series of comedic blunders, their 20-man army accidentally captures New York, kidnaps a scientist, and actually wins the war.
The Book Series: The popular political satire spans several books:
The Mouse That Roared (1955)
Beware of the Mouse (1958)
The Mouse on the Moon (1962)
The Mouse on Wall Street (1969)
The Mouse That Saved the West (1981)

a peaceful, polite attack on America’s form of government by an interested party (say, Australia, maybe). This beneficial “attack” might instruct us on how to have sensible gun laws, declare war, Mandatory Voting and High Turnout, Independent Electoral Management, Parliamentary Flexibility vs. Gridlock and many other models.

I use “attack” metaphorically because we all know our pompous American exceptionalism takes no advice or examples to heart from other nations unless they bow down to our acclaimed superiority . (NATO, anyone?)

In this Always America First climate my patriotism would categorized- “enemy of the state”
