Re: Well, Switzerland is perhaps the only inland country with an insular mentality....

Are we forgetting about Austria? Even countries like the Netherlands and Denmark....


All of them are not as insular as Switzerland --Austria, the Netherlands and Denmark all belong to the EU and NATO. BTW, I wrongly said that Switzerland didn't belong to the UN while she actually, if belatedly, joined it:

In 2002 Switzerland became a full member of the United Nations, leaving the Vatican as the last widely recognised state without full UN membership.
