SWISS ARMY

In neutral Switzerland the citizens have held referendums on proposals to abolish the entire army. The Swiss army is based on every citizen's participation in the defense of their territory. The Swiss keep their automatic rifles at home when they are not on training. Swiss mercenaries are famous through history, and the Swiss guard still protect the Pope in Rome.
