Switzerland is insanely hard to conquer, the whole place is set up like one Thermopolaie (sp?) after another!

I didn't put the Swiss on because they're too damn neutral! (Which is definitely a good thing :))
 
I didn't vote the United States because I don't believe we have ever been a warlike society, that is dependent on the honour and imperial nature of our military (Prussia, Japanese Kingdoms, Germany in the 20th century {opinion}). We've always been a pioneering folk, fighting for either the economic interests of our tycoons or the republic ideals of underprivileged third worlders. Not exactly a conquering folk. {opinion}
I voted for the US as in it's first 230 years it has had Uniformed Soldiers Fighting someone in 190 of them.
If that is not a Military tradition ...............????????????????

Remembre the first rule of US Foreign Policy ..............................When in Doubt --- Send the Marines.

pah, the same could be said about tibet and they got their ass raped by the chinese.
 
I remimber seeing QI and if I recollect correclty France has the best battles won lost ratio !!!!!

Saying that wining battle is not the same as winning wars eg the Jacobite 45 rebellion and the Vietnam war
 
And from here, these 4 are projected to move on:
1) USA
2) Japan
3) China
3) Mongolia

Kind of suprised that Turkey isn't projected to be advancing, but that's my opinion I suppose...
