-Switzerland soon expanded its borders through friendly commerce with France and a now-unified Italy, adding the territories of Nice and Venice to the alpine nation’s growing realm. The Swiss also relished in their share of colonial wealth during the iteration's “Scramble for Africa” event after subjugating the doctors, engineers and scholars that inhabited the Congo: server admin [[Xethyr]] offered to convert the nation’s African colonies into territories under direct control of the capital, and Switzerland enjoyed resource production that nearly paralleled the server’s great powers.

-Although the Swiss were excited to fight for their close allies as war day arrived, their luck was not as receptive to their enthusiasm. For the first 30 minutes of the war, mercenaries were initially deployed to assist Byzantine forces in the capture of the port of Gibraltar, but British counterattacks and Spanish incompetence bogged down the offensive as pro-Byzantine defenses were blown up by enemy artillery before the first hour of the war.

 Swiss chief sostrooper was soon contacted by [[Stryker]], the emperor of France, to abandon the Gibraltar mission and join the defense of Paris. The Byzantines, aware of the French situation, promptly agreed. As France was preparing to fight on two simultaneous fronts, Swiss mercenaries quickly shifted priorities to Paris, which would soon become the most important objective of the war.
