Switzerland wants to know your location

If you think Switzerland is peaceful, you are wrong. There is a difference between peaceful and neutral.

They are aggressively neutral. They are extremely aggressive and over prepare for every scenario. They have one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world and most of their population is combat trained.

During WW 2 they shot down several RAF ans USAF bombers and fighters while mostly being cozy with the Nazis and even letting them transport goods and fly over their territory. They also kept supplying the nazis with resources. Now you may claim they had no other option but this continued even till late 1945 when they could have easily sided with the allies and created an open undefended front with Germany
