Okay, so you run a country that’s useful to more than one side of the conflict in terms of geography and resources. You want to maintain neutrality, sovereignty and trade. Do you
a) let everyone know where your production happens, your military strength, your points of defense, where your most critical infrastructure is and how it works, your general opinion of the combatants, what trade is important to you etc. or
b) urge anyone with strategically useful information to keep quiet about it to keep any interested party ignorant and wary?
No one answered the question as you thought they would because they frankly assumed a more favorable interpretation. Neutrality is not a state of indefinite peace. It has to be maintained actively.
