Is it something to do with their mandatory militia service, or something else? Or perhaps that every Swiss person I think I've ever met has been some sort of smug jerk

Is ‘Murica mistaking Iceland for Norway part of the joke? I feel like i’m missing something somewhere. But I am slow

I assumed it was intentional, yes.

I didn't even notice it, but America mis-geographing countries is a running joke, yes. Look what I just found :

Cthulhu-ish ball gag for the win. I guess it's probably a jellyfish but whatever. Also, "The Vomit Spiders" is definitely the name of my future punk band. If I ever learn to play anything properly. Although, we are talking about punk here. Is musical talent really a pre-requisite? Edit: Reykjavik for New Year’s is one of my bucket list items. I’ll have to try some puke-shark, since I’m sure I’ll be on the verge of alcohol poisoning anyway...

If you're a punk purist, musical talent is actually contraindicated.

What makes ‘Murica even worse there is that the “w” is properly pronounced more as a “v” Although there is a tiny patch that is technically British territory. We could bomb that!

Background is that, unlike farm land that is regularly plowed, for the ground in forests stores the the Caesium-137. Which is taken up by plants and mushrooms. Which are then eating by pigs, thus them having still a high contamination even some years after the incident. (sorry for the engrish)

Wiki knows all: https://polandball.fandom.com/wiki/EyepatchIn Polandball, eyepatches are used when an important insignia on a countryball's flag interferes with where the eyes on a countryball should typically go. The eyepatch permits the insignia to go overtop of the eye.
Reference: Notice how if you think of a flag as a "skin" to wrap around the front 120 degrees or so of a Polandball the insignia would cover one of the eyes.

Correct. Which leads to poor Austria-Hungary: Bonus funfact: Austria-Hungary was so woke and diverse! it didn't even have a flag, but each part of the dual monarchy had their own: House colours of House Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary (Flag of Austrian side of the realm)

That strip is using the "civic ensign" for Austria-Hungary to represent the joined entity in the comic: So following the aforementioned insignia eyepatch idiom in the Polandball universe the combined character in the strip gets the double-eyepatch treatment.
