The historic cavalry regiment of the horseguards paraded beautifully up the drive to Buckingham Palace, the ancestoral home of King George III:

Once the calavry had arrayed before their Monarch, the assembled crowds rushed into the sqaure outside the palace to hear their Sovereign speak. He raised his hands and there was silence below the balcony upon which he stood:

"Great people of Catfish. This is an historic day for our sovereign people. Catfish has Victory!"

There was immediately a roar of appaluse and cheering. Roses and other flowers were thrown up to the balcony and towards the cavalrymen below. The king waited for them to finish, which was some minutes. When he began again he said:

"This is truely a great day, for this is the day that Catfish has shown the world that we can defend ourselves. Every attacker of Catfish has been thrown back into the sea! The forces of Makaar, a nation superior in demographics and economy, have been slaughtered on the beaches by our tiny yet highly professional armies. Our poorly equipped forces with foreign tanks have destroyed them, and we have shown the world that Catfish is greater than the sum of its parts.

Catfish gorws day by day, as does our economy. These nations who believe demographics are power have been beaten and bloodied, against a nation some thousand times smaller. Imagine what we could be when we have their resources, my children! Imagine! A New World Order arises, and Catfish shall be at the fore. There are but two things which make a successful and powerful nation: discipline and intelligence. We have both in bucket loads, whereas our rivals appear not to. We shall always emerge victorious so long as we have those two things, and we have them!"

The crowd errupted in cheers again and a band struck up, playing the Catfish national anthem. Several police motorbikes shot up the Mall to the Palace, and behind them were 5 trucks each carrying a Mockingbird missile. The crowd cheered again, and the celebrations continued for a week.

Congratulations on your survival of this trial by fire. While we took no active part in the conflict, we observed carefully. We do not condone your use of nuclear weapons: however, we realise that there was no other option against the imperialist warmongers.

In light of your survival, we would like to extend a hand of friendship to your nation. We would allow the construction of our embassy in our capital city in exchange for a Taldaani embassy within your own nation. We would also like to open trade agreements with your nation. If you are interested, then we can arrange talks to further discuss both matters.

We wish you good luck in the future.

"Ready... Mark... FIRE!"

The Vastivan Eighth Fleet let off a sudden, terrible barrage, followed by a second, then a third.

All guns were pointed towards the deep blue sea, however - and none had fired anything more lethal then a blank.

The percussionary effect, however, could be heard for miles.

Vastiva had given Feline Catfish a true "Fleet Salute" in honor of its victory - and probably deafened any listening posts tuned into their position.

"Did you make sure they had our telegram in hand beforehand, XO?"
"Yes, Admiral. I delivered it personally."
"Good. Wouldn't want them getting the wrong idea. Carry on, normal operations."
"Aye-aye, sir! Admiral leaving the bridge!"




OOC: A "Fleet Salute" you can consider equal to a 21-Gun salute - our nation just does things differently.
