You think this is a joke or an error, but in fact it reveals the secret State Department plan to overthrow the government of Switzerland and replace it with a second Sweden, which will be known colloquially as "High Sweden."

I was watching a game show the other day where on the contestants was making this exact error, calling Switzerland Sweden, and I was so exasperated because Americans suck at geography. I did not think it extended to the goddamn State Department. This should be a firing offense.

I can guarantee someone did the graphic as a joke and it accidentally slipped into production. Like I know someone, who is not me, that did a Veterans Day collage and had Chris Dorner, Lee Harvey Oswold, etc and more sprinkled in the collage of family and friends that got used by someone else.
