Neutral countries? What’s a neutral country?
3 comments

It's Switzerland.
yes. are there any Swiss technological developments? are there any other neutral countries?
Switzerland hosts, among other things, the EFPL, which does a great deal of technlogical achievement. The EFPL itself leads the Scala language development, among a lof of other stuff !

I'm not familiar with other countries as neutral as Switzerland which has a successful track record of staying neutral during two world wars on their borders, but I suspect there should be actually quite some. I _think_ that for example Kazakhstan is currently trying to follow a similar neutral political path.

Costa Rica is another relevant example.
Wire is a Swiss Slack alternative that’s open source. Do note the comment close to this one mentioning that Switzerland would also have to comply with the sanctions.
ProtonMail, maybe.
Switzerland?
