LOL, I love the headline on that story: "Swiss accidently invade Liechtenstein"  :D

It also said that Liechtenstein has no army, which makes me wonder what would happen if someone actually did invade them... on purpose, I mean.

Well with their lack of experience in screwing-up other peoples countries you have to view this as a tentative first step away from banking, making cuckoo clocks and chocolates shaped like rows of mountains ;D

That policy has worked for centuries. The Foreign Office divide the country in half along ethnic lines and let the two sides get on with things. Look at our fabulous record India, Cyprus, Ireland etc etc.... gosh we're good at making a balls-up of pretty much anything ;D

DO I see an opportunity to make a United State Of Simv reality?


LOL, there's 34,000 residents of Liechtenstein. And 22,000 members of SimV. We could still have plenty of leg room! ;D

What's odd about this is that Liechtenstein is defended by the Swiss military by treaty (isn't it?)... I don't see why it would be a big deal unless they were shooting.
