A. Switerland: Neutral, plenty of fallout shelters, and the entire population are trained in the army. But, it doesn't have many resources or farmland due to terrain. The entire population is trained? Only in theory. The same system was used in Germany until a few years ago. Not everyone makes the training. Only men have to do it and only around 2/3 of them are found suitable. Afaik you can still deny the conscription if you can reason it (for example pacifism).

But the best thing about Switzerland is the political system, very close to direct democracy. Every year there are multiple referendums, allowing the Swiss population to directly participate in government decisions. Most of them are the effect of petitions. This gives everyone more power over the government.
