I’ve been to Kreuzlingen a couple of times and I loved it. The good part of living there was the border with Germany (Konstanz). Best of both worlds. Quiet and not so quiet.
Not too tall either, compared to Northen Europeans at least.
Makes sense, and I had people calling me worse stuff… I’ll take it 😜
Austria fits right in with that description
Someone has to be it.
Don’t forget the poleaxe from swiss mercenaries. It’s just a battle-axe scaled to our size.
Far over the alpine mountains cold
So where’s the Balrog ?
Heard that comparisson a few times now and I think it’s pretty good
Actually, Swiss people are not good at drilling or digging.
We have lots of tunnels, but they are mainly built by Austrians, Italians and ppl from Slovakja. There are almost no Swiss people doing the hard work.

I thought they were the hobbits as they don’t concern themselves with what’s happening outside of the shire.
Yeah… I come from the bear canton, the city with the crossing axes symbol. Hard to argue against the dwarf symbolism of it.
Thats why i play a Dwarf in DnD i use a Graubünde dialect
the architecture also fits
Alexa, play Zwärgeland
They call it a mine, a MINEEEEEEEE
I didn’t see that coming while reading
The way some describe us on here you‘d rather think we are the Goblins from Harry Potter.
Yes if you want, but You all know it’s not true. Our economies are all bound and dependent all around the world. Globalization you know boiii
We are and our cheese, watches, pockey knives and chocolayes are the best
Switzerland = Confederation “Helvetica” aka **Elvetica** like *land of the elves* — Can a knowledgeable Swiss person confirm or deny this?
The Dwemer were always the most misterious and interesting of them all
oh, a czech person ! finally our time to overtake this subreddit
Of course it’s true.
The dwarves are hoarding gold, like the swiss
The dwarves are masters in craftsmanship, like the swiss
The dwarves built holes in almost every mountain, like the swiss
The dwarves are speaking a language no one understands, like the swiss
The dwarves enjoy beer and roast meat, like the swiss
The dwarves are pretty much neutral until someone angers them, then they are furious warriors, like the swiss
The dwarves have epic beards and even their wives do, genau wie d’Meitschi im Appizäu!
Wow, I’m pretty much a piece of geek, and was thinking the same a a week ago lol. As southamerican, having some unassembled fantasy toysoldiers and “A Concise History of Switzeland” from Cambridge Editions ( my only book specifically ordered online from abroad 👀) close to my dormtable makes this post specially interesting for me.
We don’t all live in the mountains tho
I wish I could

lol, IDK, feels like Switzerland is the MOST concerned with the outside world, given that 50% of the economy is based on exports – definitely compared to when I live in the US or France who both seem to not understand there are other places outside their borders.
Hi
Yes, yes we are
Never have i been offended so much by something i totally agree with.
I always made this comparison with the Hobbits. The dwarves are the jews…
