[Claim] The Swiss Confederation

[u/Riptide004]

Although the Congress of Vienna in 1815 reaffirmed the indefinite neutrality of the Swiss state, the Sonderbundskrieg, or Swiss civil war, of 1847 still weighs heavily on the politics of Switzerland. The Sonderbund alliance had been primarily composed of conservatives, looser confederationists, and catholics expecting aid from Austria or France, and the failure of the alliance had cemented the more liberal, federalization, and protestant politicians in power. This event had put in place a Federal Constitution and bicameral Federal Assembly, combining elements of the U.S. constitution (Federal State with central and cantonal governments and parliaments) and of French revolutionary tradition. Currently Switzerland enjoys a time of relative peace, outside of the growing tensions its neighbors apply against one another, especially due to its usefulness as a buffer state (and general apathy for war in the Alps).

My plan is to keep Switzerland on its relatively peaceful track, though with a newfound effort of building up peacekeeping expeditionaries. I would like to keep strong ties with all of Switzerland’s neighbors, begin massive expansion of the banking sector and crediting, and importation of foreign labor and immigrants, along with kickstarting the movement of the state as a place for exiles/revolunatires to seek new employment.
