| So a thought experiment for you. This might seem like an extraordinary proposition and your emotions might scream "NO!" but at least ponder this before it does: Why does the world need Switzerland? At all. Banking and finance? Obsolete and 1s and 0s do not care about borders. A neutral state? Precisely they are ally-less and one custodian of the negotiating table is as good as any other. Fancy chocolates and mechanical watches readily made in competing neighboring countries. Again I ask, if Switzerland were leveled tomorrow, who other than the Swiss lose? The kinds of people with enough gold holdings to be effected, also hold enough gold and enough guns to more than offset the scarcity with gold's increase in price. There's got to be some method other than time to de-irradiate metals. All the fortune in Switzerland to the enterprising man that cracks that nut when the dust settles. Let's end this farce, embrace rationality, and make it crystal clear in the history books that when posed with a choice, not deciding is a decision unto itself. |

| Switzerland deserves to be their own country for the simple fact that their German is incomprehensible to people who are actually from Germany. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |

| The world doesn't need any state government. |
| Swiss people are the posh people of Germany they are incredibly rich and like tenryuubito German people are already known to be arrongant internationally, but Swiss are so arrogant that even German people think they are arrogant They are the true elite, so elite that even their commoners would be elite in other western countries The question is not why do we need Switzerland, the real question is why does Switzerland need us? We are at their mercy, we are only allowed to live because we are to some use for the elite [Swiss] Bro there was always a elite in the history of mankind, but now you have to be high status to even know WHO your RULER is |
| I like to keep my birthplace and may it only be for the reason to sound fancy. Aside from that while there are other countries rivaling their strong points, they're not on Switzerlands level yet. Also as @Moonspeak said, mountains |

| They are home to one of the most influential metal bands of all time so they are cool in my book. and H.R. Giger's from there as well. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| Because then there wouldn't be Swiss Miss any more. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
| The world needs Switzerland to open up the portal to hell using the Hadron Collider. What the frick is taking them so long!!!! |

| Weren't Eluveitie from Switzerland? I mean... they have never been the same without Anna, sure, but it's still enough to prove that we need this country! |
| No, I happen to like my Swiss cheese and Swiss chocolate. |
 |
| Because they knocked out France in the most recent euros and that game was pretty damn incredible and it was thanks to Switzerland |
 |
| If we're onto Switzerland slander how about some Turkish slander? I dare any of you to hop onto a Turkish twitter chain and purposefully call Istanbul Constantinople and see what happens, pure art. |
 |
| Agreed plus I feel like nuking the swiss alps may create ecological problems. Plus as someone living in Sweden, I'm worried whoever drops the bomb confuses the two countries like so many do and bombs me instead of some swiss banker. |

Carigrad is the patrician choice. |

Sorry, but Byzance sounds incredibly better to me (the English version Byzantium sounds like a radioactive chemical element though...), and is great for poetry. Je sens ta longue absence... Byzance !

| We all need Toblerone in our life(s). |

Why does the World need Switzerland? Because the world needs a paragon it can strive after. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Switzerland is far from being the secure and secret banking paradise and actually neutral country it once was |
| Nooooo The elites need their hecking tax havenerino. If they are forced to pay taxes then society will collapse. Let's take a second to that I Switzerland for keeping that money untaxed. |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| Finance is a useful industry that connects savers with borrowers and increases overall investment in the economy. Investment is how things like machinery is purchased and how businesses get the capital to start. So yeah, good on the Swiss. If the Swiss disappeared, I'd also lose people getting mad that they have lower taxes. Sounds like other nations have a skill issue to me. |

 Be safe and well travels, Chris |
| Switzerland is great for for fly fishing and low inheritance tax, I love both. |
| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
| if switzerland didnt exist and there was a huge pool of water instead then that would mean coastline to the australians |
| To remind us and silly American politicians the importance of having rights to bear arms? I may not use a gat like those Swiss people, but my slinging's accuracy is off the charts that Mr. Potato Head (the phony president) would defecate all over himself again like he did in France. To remind us what a beautiful landscape looks like? |
