Helvetic Model

Helvetic Model (shortened to Helvet), also known as Helvetism is a libertarian, economically right-wing and culturally (usually) right-wing ideology. Helvet can be seen as a Libertarianism response to the  Nordic Model, when espoused by  Social Democrats. Helvet believes that the best society to currently exist in the world right now is the one of Switzerland and of it's smaller neighbour Liechtenstein. With focus being put on: low tax rates, openness for international trade, strict neutrality in wars and other international affairs, strict federalism and an abundance of referendums and a lot of individualism, along with very low market intervention from the state, and in Liechtenstein precisely, also a Monarchy.

History
In general, for most of its history, Switzerland remained neutral in most military conflicts, including both World Wars. It also had a complicated relationship with the UN for a long time, with them not joining the organization until 2002 when a referendum was held, despite holding UN's second most important office.

Following the traditional policy of neutrality, Switzerland in the 1950s and early 1960s faced difficulties in participating in various plans for European integration. In 1948, it joined the Organization for European Economic Cooperation, but refrained from joining the European Economic Community (what would later become the EU we know and "love" today ). The obvious political goals of this organization were unacceptable to Switzerland. However, it became one of the founding members of the European Free Trade Association in 1959, and in 1963 joined the Council of Europe, once again demonstrating its interest in European cooperation. In 1972, a national referendum ratified a free trade agreement with the EU, which by 1977 had phased out tariffs on all industrial products.

Personality
Helvetism usually represents a combinations of stereotypes about the Swiss, Liechtensteinians and/or Helvetophiles (Swissaboos). With the major one being willingness to accept to store wealth from anyone in his banks and not getting involved in fights.

How to Draw
Helvetic Model's design is a combination of Swiss and Liechtenstein symbols: You're done!
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Draw a bicolour: navy blue at the top and crimson red at the bottom, representing the flag of Liechtenstein.
 * 3) In the top-left corner, draw Swiss coat-of-arms (an orange-red shield with a white cross/plus in the middle)
 * 4) Add eyes

 * [[File: Jack.png]] Jacobinism - You invaded and puppeted Switzerland! But to be fair, it wouldn't have been as much of a safe-haven today without becoming neutral post-war, so thanks, I guess?
