You are a leader of a country.
Your country is sandwiched between two more powerful ones which have tensions with each other.
What do you do?
Declare neutrality, invest heavily in a national and very secretive banking sector in the economy, build up my national defenses to the point that my state is very hard to just roll through and encourage international peace bodies to continue talks and settlements
shareEasier said than done in the real world, though.
shareSwitzerland
High per capita income
Excellent healthcare
Respectable GDP
Large tourism sector
Highly defended with a fine military
Every crooked shitheel in the world sends their money to the banks over there...
The Swiss are doing it right
I went to Switzerland last year. Such a clean, orderly and pittoresque country. And the rivers and lakes there are so clear! A shame the Swiss and Germans have all polluted it once it reaches us.๐
shareIve heard lovely things about Switzerland and the people there
Sorry about the pollution
That not cool
Lovely country. I expected the people to be a little cold and business-like, but they were very pleasant. Not to the extreme, but just the way I like it. Such a shame it's so expensive!
My hometown of Rotterdam is pretty much the last place all that shit passes through before ending up in the sea. But we have a magnificent view on the river, so if you ever come to Dutchland, forget about fuckin Amsterdam. You and I can sit on a bench on a Rotterdam quay together and watch the waves and the ships go by.๐

I have actually googled Rotterdam because of your posts and im sorry to say i dont totally understand the geographical boundaries of your country...its pretty confusing to a dumb American guy!
Yes, the quay sounds like a date
I will expect a bouquet of Tulips though, and ill buy a nice seafood dinner๐ท
What the hell don't you understand?! What do the boundaries of my country have to do with Rotterdam? I don't understand you!!!๐ญ
A nice seafood dinner can only be soused herring with raw onions, of course.
Im trying...sheesh you pain in the neck!!
That dish sounds really gross...but if youre at the table i will pretend its great๐
