     On the topic of Switzerland. I had a friend of mine who got married to a Swiss person. Even after they were married it took years for her to get citizenship. And it involved buying a house to prove ownership, being approved by the town council to move into the house, including interviews. And having to pass a rigorous test for fluency in the specific regional dialect of Swiss German.
