If you're larping you can do it, it was considered. But in game it's going to screw up your relation with neutrals (spain, sweden IIRC)...

I did it playing as Germany. Great fun. Stole all their cuckoo clocks and didn't give 2 hoots about international reaction.

Rarely done but if you raise relation enough with them you get 5 mpp trade a turn.

Agreed. Switzerland is pretty worthless. Cheese that is mostly holes, rubbish white chocolate, novelty clocks and singing nuns. But it's so easy to take it's worthwhile just to wipe the smug smiles from their rich bankers faces and remind the world you cannot defend a nation with clever pocket knives. That tin opener on the end cannot destroy a tiger tank. It takes hours just to open a can of beans!
