Switzerland is an interesting place. How is it they are one of the few nations that have been able to remove themselves from the conflicts that arose throughout the years?
It is very much a money-laundering hub for certain segments of the population, probably why they are able to remain 'neutral' during the times of crisis - the people who orchestrate the conflicts have a vested interest in them not being involved.
I feel that meme is rather accurate in representing the powers globally - London, or the City of London Corporation, is an independent entity and (speculation) I feel like Brexit had something to do with that. Those 3 locations are not under the jurisdiction of the nations states they are located in, they operate independently with their own police forces and laws. If you start working backing to how these places originated and the families involved with them, it will make you question many things.
