Switzerland

Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation is a small country in central Europe. It is composed mostly of Germanic people, although there is also a very large portion of French and a large Romansh minority. The language is Swiss, an amalgamation of Swiss Frenhc, Swiss German and Romansh, as of 1913. It has a very large militia and virtually everyone owns a gun. The government is a sort of direct democracy and its foreign policy is mainly humanitarian aid, peace brokering and complete neutrality other than denouncing aggressive countries.

Economy
The Swiss economy is doing very well, as it is a large exporter of weapons as well as a hub for banks due to its neutrality. It has few natural resources so the economy is mainly secondary sector, tertiary sector and quaternary sector. The excellent security, government and low crime rate all make the economy one of the best in Europe. A railway is currently being built.

Military
The Swiss have a huge amount of military, as nearly every non-senile adult male owns a rifle or some sort of gun and many females do as well. They have paid special attention to dirigble & triplane development due to the mountainous nature of the country. There are bunkers enough to house everyone in the country as well as extra military fortifications. All of it means that an invading army would have to be at least twice as large to subdue the country, and even then, would likely have nothing to conquer afterwards due to the extreme patriotism; the fighting would've destroyed the industry, and all the poeple would be dead.

Diplomacy
The Swiss have been neutral since 1815 when Napoleon invaded. They are neutral to everything and anything, and refuse to even join military alliances. The only way Switzerland will go to war is if they are invaded. Because of this stance, they have taken on the role of a sort of mediator of Europe, with their telegraph wire system to all the capitals of Europe. This includes their attempt at mediation during the Cypriot War of Independence. They also accept refugees from virtually anywhere and often announce that they will. Combined with their free market stance with other countries, including weapons, Switzerland is one of the best respected nations in Europe.
