    Great insight.

    I’d add that there are practical reasons no one invaded Switzerland, as well. It’s borderline fucking impossible with all the mountains.

    In the sense that anything is possible it could obviously be invaded but the terrain would ensure that any attacker would pay very dearly for trying. Same was true in we2.

      It’s borderline fucking impossible with all the mountains.

      Parts of it are, but there’s the whole Swiss Plateau area that’s just hilly. That whole area from Zurich through Berne to Lausane isn’t too bad.

        Makes sense.

        Still, someone who is willing to work with you and who would make you pay dearly for any land you conquered doesn’t really make an appealing wartime target I’d imagine.
