Q&A with Lord Bodie of Imperial Switzerland [Open!]

[Kiu Ghesik]

"Ayy Bodie! Listen, I need a favor. I know we don't exactly see eye to eye, but the WEEBLASER 2.0 is in production, and could you please send over some people you don't like very much?

Or do like very much, if you're into that."

- John Adam Ross

"...do not point that thing anywhere near me."

"Lord Bodie, what do you think if I told you that slavery in Langenia was outlawed, except for forced unpaid labor from criminals to their communities and country?"

"That would be a great day, and I would congratulate the nation on it's great achievement."

"In light of your recent, eh, comments to me, I've something to say to you: booga booga ooga."

---

-How dare you imply I'd do that with a cheese grater!?

Of all the Germanic peoples we have met, we have never seen a Swiss-dominated nation whose confederation was the least bit interested in offensive war. Your factbook mentions your commitment to neutrality eighty years ago, in WWII, but in the same breath, His Highness the President talks about fighting neutrality.

How did your nation capture one of your largest Northern Italian neighbors? The Swiss we are familiar with have been legendary soldiers and mercenaries for centuries, but they never turned their ambitions outside of their mountainous bunkers. When did your confederation jointly decide to forsake the customary neutrality of your peoples? More importantly, why?

"I was not around in the time of World War 2, but I would believe that our role in that war was shameful, we stood aside as millions were genocided, and tortured and a dictator took over our German brothers! I believe Swiss Neutrality has gone too far! And we must protect the good ideals of the world, and aid it in the fight against evil."

(I’m just imagining Bodie having interviews while Mustafa and a random girl are unconscious and everyone is trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s like “Yes, I do like Coca-Cola *Hears a distant “I don’t wanna die!”* ... So anyway, Coke is better than Papai because..”)

"Lord Bodie, what do you think if I told you that slavery in Langenia was outlawed, except for forced unpaid labor from criminals to their communities and country?"

"That would be a great day, and I would congratulate the nation on it's great achievement."

"Well guess what? What I've told you is true! FINALY, LANGENIA DOES SOMETHING GOOD!!!"

ooc: Slavery is still in my NS policies, but only because of the forced unpaid labor of criminals.

Interesting. So, when did your nation abandon its neutrality and how did it come to annex one of the richest Merchant Republics known to the Italian races? How does it handle incorporating such large amounts of land into a confederation of equal cantons?

"A good question."

"Well it was my crusade to unite all people of Alpine Cultures under a single banner, the Swiss Banner, and so I made treaties with other nations to annex their land in search of a haven for all Alpine Peoples in Europe. Therefore, I made a deal with Italy for land, and we paid them."

"Well I didn't do it. The Langenian government did. I'm just a journalist based in Los Angeles."

"Wa-huh?! Who the heck are they?!"

"Well, I don' actually wear it, I just wore it for a photo I like of myself. Which is the one you see now."

"Well, I know not too much about your nation, from what I do know my views are positive. What are these economic policies?"

[Zeloria]

How much opposition did you get from repealing neutrality?
