[ WP ] The year is 2100 . The world 's nations have united under the UN to form a unified world government ... except for one . One small and mountainous nation in Central Europe stubbornly holds onto their neutrality .

The year is 2100. And we are besieged on all sides. 
 
 Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wilhelm Essig. My family moved to Switzerland from Germany a long time ago, as did many others from other countries, when the UN began taking over. It was innocent at first. They began with the intent of preventing nuclear annihilation. After the Cold War, their motives began to change. With no foreseeable nuclear conflicts to stop, the UN decided they wanted power. They wanted to control the world. They began falsifying scientific claims to fit their motives, manipulating internal politics of nations. Almost every leader now is a puppet of the UN. Political parties stage fake fights to try proving that they are n't puppets, that they have their own views. But they do not. 
 
 There is one lone nation that stands up to the military might of a thousand nations of the UN. And they do so by doing nothing. That nation is Switzerland. While our military is prepared, we have sworn not to fight unless the UN hits us first. As a nation, we have a much better track record for peace than the UN has ever had. In the history of our nation, we have not had one single war. Not one. The UN was forged because one of mankind's worst conflicts. They were born in war, and they hunger for war. They are the invaders, they are the ones in the wrong. They surround our borders and threaten us with armed takeover, threaten us because our opposition is felt. They threaten us because we are waking up the world. Politicians around the globe are rising up against the old puppet leaders, new generations fighting the might of this oppressive empire built upon bloodshed and lies. Many nations have left already, claiming their freedom, while we must respectfully decline their offers of alliance against the UN. We must remain neutral. But I fear it is too late to win this fight, even with an alliance. The UN, while maintaining their position, do occasionally harm and sometimes kill travelers who wander too close to them, or try to visit other places. One day, some of the refugees that returned from one such altercation returned with strange rashes and growths on their necks. They were too numerous to quarantine them all. We found out what horror the UN had unleashed upon us soon enough. The sick began... melting. They formed amorphous blobs, that violently thrashed at people. A single touch is enough to infect. They assimilate others into their mass, becoming giant, spidery masses of flesh eventually. They roam cities, devouring ANY who cross their path. The UN can not even control their twisted creations. All nations are being beset by this threat. Some do not know. There is a total media crackdown on the matter, and any who do know about this crisis often do not dare to speak of it. Governments around the world, such as the newly non-UN nations of Germany, Britain, France, the United States, Russia, and a few others, including Switzerland, are preparing to leave this doomed planet, to publicly colonize Mars. Terraforming has already begun. The atmosphere, while thin now, is still breathable, though it is like being on top of a mountain: constantly out of breath. The UN and all of its member nations are not leaving. They think they can fight them back. Already, they've prepared nuclear arms to stop their own monster. But there is no way it will work. They've doomed our world. And now, we must start anew, on a new world.
