Switzerland (Terran Country)

Switzerland was a small, neutral country within the borders of the European Union. It was a peaceful country for refugees long before the invasion of Earth by the Germanican Empire. Its capital was the city of Bern and its largest city was Zürich. Some historians claimed that it was one of the major ancestors of the Terran society.
Once a part of the Holy Roman Empire, Switzerland became an independent country by 1648. It was once conquered by the French during the French Revolution and remained part of the country until 1815, when it was fully restored. It was never invaded by any other country at any war, especially during the Third World War.
In 2053, the Swiss government, who were endangered of being involved, had tried its best keeping its neutrality in order to continue their existence. The EU, respecting their policy, had built defensive walls over the whole country as a response. That way, the neutrality of Switzerland would not be disturbed, especially when the Russians invaded Poland. However, by 2054, Switzerland was invaded by the Germanican military. Some of the Swiss, however, had began to escape the occupation and establish the new Terran society.
With the Swiss now living peacefully on the planet Vadder, they continue to practice their culture and religion and became part of the Terran upper class. Swiss military training also survived and became an important part of the military training within the Rebel Alliance Army. Swiss cheese is considered one of the society's most important signs of its culture and Swiss science helped improve the state into becoming a civilization much like the rest of Aurelia.
