Switzerland

Switzerland was a European country prior to the Great War.
==Background==
The country was famously neutral in foreign affairs, so much so that people would still joke about it hundreds of years after the War. 
In 1869, a group of German and Swiss immigrants settled in West Virginia, founding the town of Helvetia. Further immigration from Switzerland and other parts of the country would bring the population to 308 by 1875.Helvetia signage: "Settled by German and Swiss immigrants in 1869. Many of the settlers were professionals and craftsmen. Among them were musicians, cheesemakers, stone masons, doctors, and teachers. Additional groups from Switzerland and other parts of the United States increased the total population to 308 by 1875." Numerous Swiss flags can still be found in the town.Swiss flag
