HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWITZERLAND

Yay! August 1st! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWITZERLAND! My beloved homeland...

Hrmhrm. Anyway. I'll explain... who the girl on the left side of the blade is, is quite obvious, no? Switzerlands own design should on one side show his celtic background (arm guard, supposed of leather, and golden ring around his arm), and his roots in Christianity (white cross on the sleeve, which was worn on some clothes in the middle ages). As to all the guys on the right... they're Austria, England, France, Prussia, Holland, Spain, Italy (or, back then, several of the italian states, especially Neapoli) and my OC Vatican. They are all countries Swiss mercenaries have served in over the centuries. Yes, even in England, Holland (back then called "Republic of the seven untited provinces") and Spain.

Oh, and did I mention I needed THREE attempts until it was finished? T.T
