Switzerlandball

"Why weren't yuo of neutral?"

- Switzerland

Switzerlandball, officially the Swiss Confederationball, is a neutral countryball located in Europe. He is bordered by Germanyball to the North,  Italyball to the South,  Austriaball and  Liechtensteinball to the East, and  Franceball to the West, Northwest, and Southwest. The country is divided into 26 cantons, including the capital Bernball which also acts as the capital of the  Bern Canton located in the Midwest, giving him a total area of 15,940 square miles, making him the 132nd largest country in the world. As of 2016, he maintains a population of about 8.372 million inhabitants.

Due to his neutral status, Switzerland hardly takes international organizations into consideration. Though while not in EUball, he still has large ties with them and is a member of the  EFTA and the  Schengen Area, as well as the  UNball like almost every other country.

For the last 500 years, Switzerland has been able to stay surprisingly neutral. While all the other countries fought in WW1 and WW2, as well as the Cold War, Switzerland was able to sit out of everything that has happened and enjoy his life, which has made him a very popular country. Switzerlandball is best known for its neutrality, cheese, chocolate, lakes, mountains, gold, banks, clocks, mathematicians, and physicians. It is very rich and thus cares greatly about its money.

His national day is August 1. His astrological sign is Leo.

History
In the earliest times, the territory now occupied by Switzerlandball  was inhabited by Celtic Helvetii and was dominated by the Romans from the first century BC to the fourth century. The period marked the moment when the population reached a higher level of civilization and began to enjoy more and more of the commerce.

When the  Roman Empire fell into decline,  Germanic tribes from the north and west invaded Switzerlandball. In 800, the country became part of the empire of Charlemagne and then the Holy Roman Empire. Only in 1499 did the Swiss confederates achieve their formal independence from the Holy Roman Empire.

The Swiss nation, then, renounced expansionism and also the war, which crossed its frontiers only in the period when  Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the country there in the 19th century. Later, the Congress of Vienna of 1815 restored the confederation and its neutrality.

Switzerlandball industrialized very quickly and became the second nation after   Britain. While the First (1914-1918) and Second (1938-1945) World War took place, the Swiss distanced themselves from these hostilities because they are neutral to it.

The Cold War (1947-1991) reinforced the role of neutral Switzerland and gave the nation a way out of its diplomatic isolation. This, however, did not join the  United Nations for a few decades - even with Geneva being the European headquarters of the    UNball and the Swiss actively playing in specialized agencies of the international body. After the end of the Cold War, Switzerlandball joined the Bretton Woods institutions in 1992, and only in 2002 became a member of the   United Nations. In 1960, Switzerland joined other countries that do not strive to a European centralized administration, participating in EFTA (European Free Trade Association) with    Norway,  Iceland and    Liechtenstein. Switzerlandball does not share the view of many other countries with a single European currency.
