History: With a failed conspiracy from Pasha and Ali to combine their Epirote and Egyptian forces respectively in order to overthrow the sultan, the Ottoman Empire fell to chaos. Seeing a golden opportunity to revolt, many people including the Serbians and the Greeks revolted in the Balkans and even threatened the very heart of the Sublime Porte itself. However, they were put down by the rest of the Great Powers that wished for status quo. But still, the damage that had ber done could not be restored, since the people of the Middle East had already overthrown the Turkish opressors. In addition to that, the Saudi family had united forces with the followers of Wahhabi and went on to a conquering spree from their center of power in Najd, only to stop after an attack against Karballah where they failed. Eventually, they consolidated their power in the Arabian Peninsula from Yemen to Transjordan and organised a state where tribal leaders and powerful clergy was not unheard of.

History: For centuries, Switzerland had always been a confederacy. Disorganized and divided, the Swiss were unprepared for the Napoleonic Wars. Revolts across the Ancien Régime had been widely successful. After the War of the First Coalition, in 1798, France attacked the battered and divided Swiss. However, nobody was ready for what was to come.
In the northeast part of the country, The Swiss had become unified under a new banner. Jourdain Reinhard Giehl crowned himself King of Switzerland, promising to create a strong Switzerland that would have a Monarchy while instilling Republican values. He marched a large army, a coalition of liberal, conservative, and reactionary elements across Switzerland, spreading his influence. Eventually, his army clashed with the French. After two years of war, the unified Swiss army pushed the French out of Switzerland and peace was declared in 1800.
With Napoleon's France dealt with, the new King of Switzerland made good on his promise and reorganized the government to be a Constitutional Monarchy with a parliament. The military victory over France invigorated the Swiss Military Tradition; many young Swiss men gladly sign up for the Mandatory conscription that has been in place since the beginning of King Giehl's crusade.
In 1801, a string of conquests by the newly-founded Kingdom led to the creation of the Swiss Empire. Throughout the Napoleonic Wars, Italian countries annexed dependencies of Switzerland. The Swiss decided that the debt needed to be repaid, and went on to begin a series of wars that resulted in the annexation of many northern Italian provinces. With the German powers still weakened by Napoleon's army, Switzerland also knocked a block off Austria, closing off much of the Mediterranean access to the waning Hapsburg's.
These conquests, ending in 1812, were followed by a series of another string of conquests. The Swiss now controlled some of the strongest ports of the Mediterranean, with Venice and Genoa both under the Swiss thumb. Thus began the beginning of the great Swiss Navy. The first targets were again Italian, and again came with resounding success. By the end of the Italian conquests, Sicily and Sardinia became the first of Switzerland's island holdings, the two biggest in the Mediterranean. The Swiss continued their oversea conquests, exploiting the collapsing and war-torn Ottoman Empire. The Mediterranean east of Sardina was strictly under Swiss control.
In 1817, it was again time to face the French. War was declared, and the armies and navies of the Swiss Empire were brought to bear on the French. The French were already undergoing civil war; an end to the conflict was quick and Switzerland seized Corsica, the last island on the Mediterranean.
Corsica was a topic of heated debate. Frenchmen were adamant about Corsica being rightfully French, while Swissmen maintain that they won it fair and square and that it was now an integral part of Swiss dominance in the Mediterranean. However it became apparent how much the French did not want to let the issue go when they started the War of 1829. The war was relatively short, but very bloody. Both sides refused to give an inch. However, in the Battle of Cote D'Azure, the Swiss naval line was broken and French ships flooded troops in Corsica. In a few months time, it became apparent that the Swiss were not going to get Corsica back; each time they repaired the line and put a blockade on the island, the French would time and time again break the blockade and deliver supplies. The war became a repetitive standstill by November. Although the peace was officially signed in 1830, it war was practically over in December with no shots actually having been recorded firing in over a month.
The peace still tastes bitter to many Swissmen. Though it is unknown if the Swiss will ever obtain full Mediterranean dominance again, the subject is under a lot of fire as most Swiss agree that Corsica belongs under a Swiss banner.

Corsica was the birthplace of Napoleon I! It is the most French place outside mainland France and henceforth is part of France! It is the cradle of our imperial glory! Hence we are willing to suggest you hold another province instead of French soil. Nevertheless the French Empire hopes for good relations with the Swiss Empire.
Edit: we thank the Swiss for their excellent co-operation.
