Map of Switzerland

Last update 6. July 2012.

Switzerland (German: die Schweiz [ˈʃvaɪts], French: Suisse [sɥis(ə)]; Italian: Svizzera [ˈzvit͡sːɛra]; Romansh: Svizra [ˈʒviːtsrɐ] or [ˈʒviːtsʁːɐ]), in its full name the Swiss Confederation (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, or CH), is a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons. The country is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south and Austria and Liechtenstein(not part of the New World) to the east.

Main article: Switzerland/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[1].

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[2]. Throughout September, Swiss regions were in and out of Slovenian control as Switzerland was considered for EDEN membership[3]. Negotiations later ended, though, when EDEN again lost control of Europe.

Flying Dove Treaty

In late October of 2011, President Borgogian and MoFA 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[4]

The switch to ONE

In April 2012, Switzerland made the switch from neutral to proONE. This was due to a majority of Swiss citizens getting tired of being used as a bridge by various "allies" in TEDEN(Terra & EDEN) in order to reach Poland. This was very unexpected because Switzerland had been leaning towards TEDEN ever since Slovenia had first attacked, and PTO'ed Switzerland. The switch caused almost immediate backlash from Switzerland's northern neighbor, Germany. Because of the recent choice of sides, Switzerland became a major front in WWV for a short time. It took a bit, but Germany eventually left. Switzerland has remained in relative calm since the skirmish ended, being left alone by neighboring TEDEN countries due to other attacks on these countries by Swiss allies.

Croatian Invasion

In early June 2012, Croatia decided to invade Switzerland, they had just conquered Austria, and they were expanding westward. Switzerland was in the way. There were many peace discussions between the two CP's but the invasions still came. The invasion came at a congress election time, and many Swiss citizens fought hard to keep Switzerland afloat. Despite help that came from fellow CoT countries Switzerland didn't have enough power to win. There were some close fought battles, but Switzerland couldn't win. Croatia managed to completely wipe Switzerland before they could receive a congress. The wipe lasted two months, then some ONE countries stepped in to change that. In mid-August the ONE country's that surround Croatia(currently made up of Swiss and Austrian territories)were fed up with them. Poland, Slovenia, and the Republic of Macedonia(Who was currently residing, in part, in Italy) attacked Croatia at the same time. Croatia fell under their onslaught. FYROM(Republic of Macedonia) then made a deal with Switzerland, that allowed them to take Deutschschweiz in return for the guarantee that they would protect Switzerland until the congress elections were over.

English is used in all official articles and in the Swiss forums because almost everyone can understand it. The Swiss Federal Translation Bureau, set up by President Berengar allows official documents to be translated into German, French, and Italian. The Bureau, though, has since been forgotten.
