The Guillotinist State of Switzerland (French: État Guillotiniste de la Suisse, German: Guillontistische Schweiz, Italian: Guillotinist stato di Svizzera) is a country in Europe nestled among the nations of Germany, Austria, France, and Italy. Although small in size, the nation, under the great leadership of His Holiness, Monsieur Baguette, God of Gods, has been able to survive and thrive, even when surrounded by threatening neighbors.

History

Switzerland has been a nation of eRepublik since the beginning of eTime.

France-Switzerland War

The France-Switzerland War was the first war in eRepublik history where two countries (France and Italy) another country at the same time. The war was fought from Day 173 to Day 175, and left Switzerland’s regions divided up by Italy and France. The nation remained conquered until the Swiss Independence War, which started with a resistance war in Deutschschweiz on Day 380. Resistance forces failed to reclaim a region of their own until Day 389 when Bremer led the Swiss people into a victory in Deutschschweiz. A resistance war in Svizzera italiana led by Big Brother gave the Swiss another region on Day 394. The country was soon completely retaken. Soon after this victory, though, Switzerland was taken over by members of a Dioism PTO group, the Theocratic Party (Switzerland).

Theocratic Nation of Switzerland

The Theocratic Nation of Switzerland (which was the name of Switzerland under Theocratic rule) decided to cede Deutschschweiz and Romandie to Italy. More than one year later, on Day 616 of the New World, the Theocratic Nation of Switzerland united the Swiss territories again under the Theocratic Flag.

The Theocratic Nation of Switzerland was conquered later, though, by Hungary. Switzerland (no longer in control of the Theocrats) was back on the map later when the Swiss Liberal Party purchased above 1,000 GOLD ailing Hungarian companies, with money sources primarily from international donations. Many Swiss citizens were against this for its high cost and would have preffered a more cost-effective solution.

Joining and Escaping EDEN

On Day 720, Switzerland joined the super alliance EDEN, with nearly 90% of the voting population in favor of joining it. Later, though, on Day 842, the National Council (Congress) held a vote for the escape from the alliance. Switzerland left the alliance through popular vote only because of the Swiss Neutrality Party, Swiss Brainslugs Party, and Vive la Resistance, with 92.8% voting in favor. The escape, though, was very controversial, as most Swiss citizens who were not part of the SNP had no idea what was going on. For a long time, EDEN still considered Switzerland a member. This was because Switzerland still occasionally kept relations with the alliance, depending on who was in charge of the country. Switzerland was officially suspended from EDEN on Day 1157 because of the inactivity of the country. They did, however, offer its place back in the alliance if it proves it can be active and implicated in the alliance’s life.

Slovenian Invasion

The Slovenian Invasion of Switzerland started when the ONE nations of Slovenia and Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) together invaded Switzerland in April of 2011. Macedonia took Romandie while Slovenia took the rest.

Luna

Switzerland remained occupied until May, 2011, when Switzerland joined Luna and had Svizzera italiana temporarily freed. Luna, the alliance of small, neutral countries that Switzerland had joined, started to fail, though, and lost all power it previously might have had. Slovenia again took the regions Switzerland had taken.

EDEN Talks

Switzerland stayed occupied throughout June, July, August, and the beginning of September until President JNArno started talks with EDEN (Romandie was temporarily retaken in July when Macedonia left Switzerland and the Italian peninsula, but it was taken by Slovenia after a week or two). The forces of EDEN, specifically sympathetic, independent forces from Croatia helped to free the whole country for the first time in months on Day 1,405. Throughout September, Swiss regions were in and out of Slovenian control as Switzerland was considered for EDEN membership. Negotiations later ended, though, when EDEN again lost control of Europe.

Flying Dove Treaty

In late October of 2011, President Borgogian and Minister of Foreign Affairs Monsieur Guillontine drafted a very controversial deal with Slovenia, which encouraged trust and friendship between the two countries (for a price). Many Swiss citizens were appalled by this deal and several emigrated to other lands, mostly former allies like Canada. After many revisions and debates, The Flying Dove Treaty was passed on November 13, 2011
