The Confederacy of New Switzerland II is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its quiet, industrious population of 14 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Military spending recently hit a new high, scientists regularly clone human|human beings for research purposes, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Switzerland II's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Swiss franc.
The government's highest priority is Defense, namely against foreign aggression. The VX Flash Directorate's resident nations are all known associates of President Enage on non-NS related forums, and as such, the President and the Department of Defense agreed that New Switzerland II would be taking up permanent residence in the friendly region.
As for major industries, the only major industry left in the New Swiss business is Information Technology, as automobile manufacturers seceded to foreign carmakers, leaving IT to dominate the nation's private sector.
This nation is loosely (humorously) based off the real world nation of Switzerland.
