    Lots of water in and around Switzerland.
    They do not have a navy, but do have a Boat-Service. Small armed Cutters and lots of Zodiac's. It has the biggest standing army in Europe. If Switzerland was to go on a war footing Switzerland becomes one big fort with 600,000 troops yes 600,000 defending it. The lakes bits too! All Swiss males between 18-35 must get to there battalion stations within 24 hours. All 35-45 must go to there home and man all the bunkers etc, in there area. All the bunkers are working and armed. Most of the motor-ways can be made into runways and tunnels (Lots of Tunnels in Switzerland) are made to turn into hangers. Tank-traps chris-cross all of the country-side All Swiss men have weapons and kit at home ready to go. They do a 18 weeks training the first time they go, then 3 weeks each year. The older men do 2 weeks each year until 40 then 2 weeks each 2 years. The Israeli's base there arm forces on the Swiss army. It works O.K. for them! A little side note. They think that around 10% of the males will not show-up within the 24 hours or not at all. That is still over half million armed and trained troops to defend the not so flat land.
    Be safe, I would not knock the 6 million Swiss!

    P.S. All Swiss homes/blocks of flats have fall-out bunkers built into them by law. All schools have bunkers too. They can be all made into underground hospitals, H.Q.'s or safe places for the people to go too. They all know what to do. It's a little bit like an ants-nest.
