The U.S. did not exist prior to 1783 but civilization thrived anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swiss have had no bloody wars that have killed and or injured 4 percent of the population (The U.S. Civil War) and have produced some of the best native born mathematicians and scientists (Euler. The brothers Bernouli) The U.S. inherited its brain trust from Europe thanks to Adolph Hitler. The Swiss have no wars, little crime and the best electric railroads on the planet. The U.S. has terrible train service. The Swiss also dig better and longer tunnels than anyone in the U.S. The worst I can say about the Swiss is that they can be a bit tedious at times.
