Switzerland is a great ploy. They installed the Bank of International Settlement there so when wars are started they get a rake off from every international arms transaction.
They claim to be neutral so no-one attacks them and, because they are in a mountainous region, they are difficult to attack anyway so would probably be one of the last countries to be successfully invaded even if you wanted to.
That also makes it a great place to store your ill-gotten gains during any hostilities taking advantage of their secret bank accounts.
Basically, they are saying: You fight amongst yourselves and we will siphon off as much of your money as we can along the way.
