And they're not part of the EEA. I realize Switzerland holds itself as a perfect isolationist, but I'm interested in other's ideas on this.

Switzerland is actually a member of the EU or EEA in all but name. EU law has affect there and Switzerland pays into the EU budget. This is because Switzerland negotiated the particulars of different parts of membership, e.g. Free movement of people, etc. and then the people of Switzerland voted on it.
Also, it is not that Switzerland is isolationist or xenophobic, though the recent elections are worrying, it is more that Switzerland prides itself on centuries neutrality that have protected it and its people from harm. Only recently they joined the UN even though one of the UN headquarters is in its country.

Switzerland is basically an independent country. During the wars they remained neutral, and they want to continue to remain neutral. Therefore they can not join groups like the EU, they must remain completely free and not associated with anyone. Of course this didn't play out as well as it should have during the war as they found a lot of missing Jewish loot hidden in Switzerland, but they were quick to turn it over.

He who holds the Gold,Owns the Game,
Central control, after the unification of Europe, will come the unification of the western states, controlled by a panel of few and very rich and wealthy iconic like dictators. Policing and laws will be centralized, areas of city slum will form and be contained within walls. Everyone will be chipped. The wealthy will have freedom of movement, and live in the countryside.Video-Real Face of the European Union - if 10 percent is true we are screwed. Hope its BS and only a bad dream,stand up and slow it down.

Get to control your own economy and set up your own regulations or not follow the strict EU rules.
