Well,Sweden would have surely been involved in WW3 and they do peacekeeping.A lot of stuff can happen.Switzerland on the other hand seems to be there pretty much for "what if the germans try to steal our chocolate" sort of scenarios.

Nobody has messed with the Swiss for a few hundred years. Not many nations can claim that. It was included becasue I wanted it included becasue I figured if it was there somebody WOULD try to mess with the Swiss and no one disagreed ( well... maybe Andy a bit).

With "only" 92 nations there would , of course, be at least one that somebody would say . "why A and not B ??"

Life it's always "fair" to everyone. If Venezeula had of appeared on someones to-do list when the OOB's were being created it probably would have been included but it wasn't. On the other hand, how many games, let alone wargames, include all the nations we do include?? SP2 "only" had 43 so 49 additional nations isn't chump change.

And as OOB-editing is rather easy in WinSPMBT, anybody who feels like, can make Venezuela, or any other country for that matter. I have produced a couple of modifed OOBs for Norway in SPWW2. Mainly because I had aviable info that was not easy to com by. Like a training-manual for infantry tactics, listing ranges of weapons. And also with pencil notes

.
From that book, tip of the day: "If defending a line of forest, place your troops eiter somewhat in front of, or behind that line. The enemy will usually think you are in the line, and fire at that position."
