Switzerland's conundrum
Although Switzerland is an armed neutral country, and Geneva is where humane war rules have been written (4 times)- it's a country of great intrigue to me.
First, because of Switzerland's huge arms industry

Second, because of their Swiss banking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banking_in_Switzerland
Now, after watching Special Flight a POV (point of view) documentary tonight on PBS: about the immigration, deportation, and detainment of workers coming to make a better life for themselves. For a country with such high moral standards, this documentary piece is visceral.
