Switzerland

European country, although not in Europe, Switzerland is home to people who live together but never speak to each other except on exceptional circumstances, however then in English (which is not an official language despite there are already 4 of them). Being a neutral country, the military service is mandatory and equivalent to about one year altogether for each male citizen. If neutrality was in need of protection, each male citizen has a military assault rifle ready for use at home. However, no one ever thought about using it to kill someone else: Swiss people are very respectful of instructions and were prohibited to use their rifle for military purposes.
Switzerland is considered a tax paradise, not because of its taxes (which are quite significant eventually) but just because the other countries would prefer that their citizens come back paying them in their jurisdiction instead of elsewhere.

Typical dialogue between two nationals in Switzerland:
- Grüezi !
- Désolé je ne comprends pas.
