The Swiss are famous for their neutrality and yet the nation is also unique among its European neighbours in that it is armed to the teeth and virtually every male citizen is required to do military service. The fact that the nation's posture is strictly defensive is a point some would celebrate and even those who in many cases would frown on the idea of conscription, see in the Swiss situation a wholly different creature.

Terrorism is being used as justification to break Swiss neutrality. The All-Seeing Eye wants access to every secret, every byte and bit of data. Switzerland is autonomous but dependent, reliant on a symbiotic relationship with global finance.
