I've got $5 on Switzerland.
Liechtenstein doesn't even have an army. Up your bid.
Yea but the Swiss don't have ammo so it's a wash.
Yeah but the Swiss might have brought their knives....the Swiss Army knife is awesome.

I thought "Swiss Army" was a figure of speech or a brand name lol
In March of 2007 Switzerland invaded Lichtenstein. In what began innocently as a military training operation, Swiss soldiers crossed a mile into Lichtenstein. After realizing their mistake, the Swiss soldiers turned around and crossed back over the border. Nobody in Lichtenstein noticed the invasion and European peace has since been restored.

Make fun of the Swiss all you want, but historically they've been respected and feared as fierce warriors.
Their reputation as fighters in the old ages is what got them to be assigned guards at the Vatican.

"Interior Ministry spokesman Markus Amman said nobody in Liechtenstein had even noticed the soldiers, who were carrying assault rifles but no ammunition."

They have a pretty large army considering their population and the fact that they remain neutral in wars. I recall reading about 10 years ago that they had a population of ~6 million and an army of 600,000. I imagine that's more like our national guard than an actual army though. I believe everyone must serve a certain number of years in the military there.
Not sure if their military uses "Swiss Army" stuff, but that brand name is used by both Victorinox and Wenger (Victorinox has the pointy shield logo, Wenger has the rounded square logo)
Edit: It seems Victorinox bought Wenger in 2005, but apparently they still use both names.
