Re: Swissier than the Swiss?
I think if you keep an open eye of what is the reality about a country, you are fine. I understand that for some people the honeymoon last longer then others but after a while, give it a slack.

You're joking right? When was Switzerland part of a German empire? Surely you mean the French or the Romans.

The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire.
Discuss.
(Hint: It was a German empire, of sorts)

Well I know just about every empire came through here; Romans, Charlemagne, Franks, Burgunds, Merovignians, Carlingians, etc. But to say they were Germans.... It's just as valid to say they were French or Romans, no?
