Old Swiss Confederationball was a HRE countryball.
History
Old Swiss Confederationball was officially born as a 2ball, then adopted by Helvetiiball, SPQRball, Western Roman Empireball, Franciaball, East Franciaball and HREball.
It was born in the 14th century, from a nucleus in what is now Central Switzerland. This confederation of eight cantons was politically and militarily successful for more than a century. It won against Duchy of Burgundyball in the Burgundian Wars which resulted in Burgundyball's decline and established the confederacy as a power.
After the Swabian War of 1499 the confederacy was a de facto independent state, until the peace of Westphalia when it was officially recognized as an independent political entity. It pledged neutrality in the Thirty Years War, and I guess this is where all the Swiss being neutral business started.
Swiss mercenaries were famous for their skill, courage & loyalty and were widely hired across Europe. They were especially used in the armies of baguetteball. The use of Swiss Mercenaries was at its height during the Renaissance.
Decline
The Swiss Reformation divided the confederates into Reformed and Catholic parties, resulting in internal conflict from the 16th to the 18th centuries. As a result, the federal diet was often paralyzed by hostility between the factions. The Swiss Confederacyball fell to invasion by the French Revolutionary Army in 1798, after which it became the short-lived Helvetic Republicball.
