Voted for Slovakia.  Other countries fought wars to obtain their independence.  Slovakia didn't even have a quarrel before breaking up with Czech Republic.

Switzerland is going to run away with this like the road runner.

Duque de Bragança

Switzerland is the only real contender in this one.

At least Switzerland has dramatic landscapes. I vote Luxembourg.

Outside of members of the titular House of Luxembourg I cannot name a single famous person from Luxembourg. At least the Swiss have William Tell, Swiss Guards, and Nazi Gold. The Swiss might be the least friendly people I have ever met and I spent considerable amounts of time in France and Germany so if I think you are a cold asshole you really had to work for it.

We are partially at the mercy of someone from there, though.  :P



And Luxembourg is barely a country anyway. There are suburbs of European capitals with more population than it.

I voted Luxemburg, but I would lump it with the Andorras and Liechtesteins of this world, tbf.

Switzerland at least has got the bouts of xenophobia and cuckoo clocks.

QuoteIn Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

I was mocking that quote, you know  :P

Cuckoo clocks weren't even invented by the Swiss. They're German IIRC.

I always presumed it came from the Black Forest; at least that's the general assumption in Germany.

Switzerland wins this by a landslide. Luxembourg is not a proper country.


Valmy

The Swiss did kill Charles the Bold, thus changing the history of Europe forever. That was cool.
