No. It's not. And i'm glad its not.

And no nation is greater than another nation.

Seeing this as a competition creates anger.

And anger sucks.

Starting Test.

Open Spoiler after you replied.

well holy crap,  I almost predicted that nobel prize incoming on page one, ha!

on a side note: 

first:  this thread is about history,  not status quo,
second:  germany  only rose from the ashes of wwII successfully because of US interessts

third:  all of europe is  and was a clusterfuck of nations.  a great book about german history from BEFORE the wars,  "die geschichte der deutschen",  describes wonderful how germany always was a melting pot of ethnic and cultural groups,  eastern germans being more related to their slawic neighbros than to western germans with francophone relations.  not to mention the north south descripency.

thats also what made germany a candidate for being THE neutral and balancing power in the heart of europe,  helping overcome the eastern powerblocks differences with the western ones and vice versa during imperialism.  sadly,  it never came to this because of prussio-austrian differences,  and not only in sexual orientation but also penis size for that matter. 
 Ignoring the last scentence,  lets move on:  EVERY SINGLE EUROPEAN country had great moments of acedemic,  political,  social and military enlightment,  not one is better than the other or worse,  because they are not to be compared. 
Because,  if it comes down to the individual,  it is neither one mans success,  nor identification,  on which side of a border he was born,  or decided to live,  or fled to.
the only thing man kind may say is:  we are all one,  and we must all strive for the better of each and everyone one!
anyone of different opinion will be circumcised to death.


ah, so much more to say,  so many facettes to this.  but in the end,  it really comes to this:  evolving humanity must overcome national thinking.

accept during hobby racism,  ofc.   
cause thats funny.

Switzerland, always been there laughing there asses off at the silly wars people have been having around them for 500 years. Having democracy for ages, ranked 6th in the GDP per capita ranking. They are rated as the most innovative European country and have the most competitive economy, while still having relatively low income disparity. It is rated as the second country for quality of like. It's one of the most respected countries in the international scene often mediating between others and a clear advocate for human rights. They also have a completely CO2 free energy production system.

Most importantly it does not have a history of exploiting colonies, slavery or imperialism, which some of you seem to value very highly. Dickwaving does not make a country great.

the problem is if everybody would behave like switzerland in foreign politics (would always just try to profit), the world would be much different place. we'd all either speak german or russian. fuck switzerland i say and their selfish attitude.

i'm sure that if alliens would land on the earth killing all the humans, switzerland would be gladly lending them money and gold at good interest.

Lol, are you quoting this from the official swiss website for tourism?
Switzerland is a peasant state. The landscape is beautiful, but that's really the only positive thing about this pig-headed country. They have quite a history though...

its not prejudice, its history.
