Default OT Civilised World?

I've heard that Switzerland is quite civilised. Must be

all that Nazi
gold
and general confiscated holocaust booty that enables

them to pay for
their
stupendously clean and beautiful country.


It could be just that the Swiss are hardworking and have

low taxation
and haven't wasted their assets on wars for about 400

years.

Could be . . . unlike certain countries for whom wars ARE

an asset - those
which host huge weapons manufacturing companies, like

ours, for example.

I am reasonably certain that the Swiss beat us at that game.
