No I don't think so. Counterexample: Germany changed its borders all the time, still powerful and wealthy tho.

Plus another counterexample from the opposite side: Andorra hasn't changed its borders since 1278, but only became reasonably rich in the second half of the 20th century.

It is like 3 times less wealthy per capita compared to Switzerland. So this is rather a co-example.

That's exactly my point. It's very difficult to scale wealth. Still Germany is very wealthy for it's size.
