Cartographers Have Been Hiding Covert Illustrations Inside of Switzerland's Maps

The looming sense of EU technocracy is ever present - I guess the kind of person to take offence at a cheeky marmot is probably going to be a perfect drone beurocrat. Although we do have to ask ourselves as a society, if we live in a world were a cartographer can't sneak in a little drawing, is it a world worth living?

I think what we need to do is fund an exhibition into the swiss alps to reconstute the terrain in the shape of a funny little marmot.

To be fair, the Swiss are not in the EU, but they do have a curious relationship with it as a landlocked enclave. (Much like Andorra, San Marino, and the Vatican.)

almost similiar to the UK - while being very anti-eu, there's a complete technocratic acceptance, and beurocratic minutea has taken it over.

Real sense of legislation above all

A wee bit. Maybe more like Norway. UK obviously left and has no real border (except in Ireland.)
