Nope, neutral country. They did pay tribute to Nazi Germany from 1934-1943.

No - Switzerland was not attacked during the Second World War, although the allies did manage to drop around 70 bombs on Swiss territory.
Switzerland showed its readiness to resist Hitler's plan to unify all German speaking people by having around 430,000 troops mobilised at the beginning of the war.
Economics also played a crucial part. Switzerland was surrounded by fascist countries and Germany was its most important trade partner. By a combination of agreeing to allow sealed German containers to be transported across Swiss alpine train links in exchange for continuing trade, and a threat to destroy the alpine railways if Germany did decide to attack, the Swiss held Hitler at bay. Clearly it was crucial for Germany to retain use of the rail links and this was clearly more important than occupation of the country.

They did not want to get involved as they did not care what happened to the rest of the world.
Of course they took in all of the stolen money that the Germans took during WWII to keep for them until after the war.

No it would be a very difficult country to attack due to its terrain, and it's armed forces ability to effectively defend that terrain.
