Switzerland

It sounds more probable that CA was pressured into exempting the Swiss from the game.

by who?

There are a limited amount of slots for factions and they also wanted to release the game in time. Then the designers had to decide which were the relevant factions for the GC.
Indeed, some of the neighbors of the Old Swiss Confederation were certainly more in the history of events during the 18th century. Take the Duchy of Wurttemberg which was the main battleground between France and the Emperor, or Bavaria which was an ally of France during the Spanish Successor War and focus of the Bavarian Successor War, or take Piemont, Savoy smaller but still active participants in the political and military history of the period being important for the French and Austrians because they controlled the entrence to Italy.
CA has made a design-decision good for their GC scenario that's all. A civilwar like the one of 1712 in Switzerland is on a level of detail not in the focus of the game and the French invasion of 1798 is already close to the end of the GC as well as the battles of the Second War of Coalition (1789–1802) that were fought on the territory of the Helvetic Republic.

There's 300 faction slots, and you can actually play them inb custom battles (They have a flag and everything)

by who?

That's what we're trying to find out, but CA isn't co-operating...

Switzerland is not in the game coz the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) is there, yes i know the biggest part is in France but only the Swiss part gone boom in my future!!!! & CA foresight that Switzerland will become a black hole! So there was no point to put a province/nation/whatever in the game that will go boom in my future^^.

For those who are interested in modding a swiss faction, I have put some datas and simple analysis together about the forces of the Old République de Berne in 1721 and after 1770 til 1798. It's the last post in my thread:

There already is a Swiss faction. All you have to do is give them a territory.
