Switzerland is this island in the middle of Europe that stays as neutral as it possibly can through world wars and economic union alike. It's wealthy, educated and stunningly beautiful - why would they want to join up with anyone else?

Famous for its anonymous bank accounts, cuckoo clocks and proportion of psychologists and neurotics that almost rivals Argentina.
