Weird map. The non-Union Balkan states and Norway are cut out, but Switzerland is filled in.

Some of you European federalists seem keen to annex and rule to ensure a full and strong federation.

Switzerland spends a fraction of what their neighbors do on defense as a portion of GDP, which they get to do because of the benevolence of those neighbors. They’re “neutral” because they know that their neighbors are peaceful which they take full advantage of while contributing nothing. Of course their neutrality also conveniently allows them to harbor the money of the worst people and regimes in the world, going all the way back to Nazi Germany.

they're not really the neutral banking country anymore. a lot of the money fled after they started freezing Russian accounts following the Ukraine invasion.

Which is why you would want the EU to enter undeclared war on Switzerland, invading the country and replacing their local government, killing and arresting anyone who would resist.
