Seriously, you can't beat a country named Hrvatska.

Except they already use the Swiss Franc as national currency and are in a complete economic and customs union. :)

An army without ammo invades a country without an Army which didn't notice until they received an appology?:hmm: A nice way to avoid a war!

Maybe they thought the grass was greener on the other side???:D

Well...maybe the Swiss will start arming for war now that they've ended their 800-year streak of neutrality...

Can't resist:
Glab: I can think of no better place for this centre of diplomacy than here in orbit around the Neutral Planet. [She turns to the grey man.] What are your thoughts on this momentous occasion, Your Neutralness?
Neutral President: I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
[Everyone cheers, except one man.]
Zapp Brannigan: I hate these filthy Neutrals, Kif. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me. [Kif sighs. Fry, Leela and Bender walk past with the scissors and Zapp stops them.] Halt. [They gasp.] Why, Leela, I do believe we've met.
Bender: (whispering) He means you guys did it.
Leela: If you don't mind, we're here to deliver the scissors for the ribbon-cutting.
Zapp: Then you're under arrest.
[He snatches the scissors away.]
Leela: What for?
Zapp: How do I know these scissors aren't part of some Neutral plot?
Leela: But they're not even sharp. Who could I possibly hurt with them?
Zapp: The Yarn People of Nylar 4? [He points at the pink creatures made of string.] So, a plan to assassinate a weird-looking alien with scissors. How very Neutral of you.
Leela: What?
Zapp: It was almost the perfect crime, but you forgot one thing: Rock crushes scissors ... but paper covers rock ... and scissors cut paper. Kif, we have a conundrum. [Kif sighs.] Search them for paper, and bring me a rock.
Kif: Why?
[Zapp stares at Leela.]
Zapp: So beautiful, yet so neutral. [He grabs her arms and handcuffs them behind her back.] Drag them to the ship.
Glab: And now, to cut the ribbon, the legendary DOOP captain who just returned from a triumphant carpet-bombing of Eden 7, Zapp Brannigan.
[Everyone applauds and looks around in confusion. Zapp has gone.]
[Scene: Nimbus Bridge. The Nimbus has moved away from the headquarters. Leela, Fry and Bender are handcuffed on the deserted bridge. Zapp paces around.]
Zapp: What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Those dirty Swiss! We'd better get over there and invade 'em right back! Show 'em how to be good Americans!

Ah'll be in front of the TV with a beer.
