In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace

Everybody knows that the Swiss are really descendents of the original Templar knights. After becoming too big and successful they were persecuted by the Pope and French King, fleeing to the Alps in the 12th century.

They had to keep a low profile for several hundred years which could account for the legendary Swiss penchant for secrecy and neutrality.
