The men have to go to training camp yearly for military reasons and are allowed to have a gun in household. If caught holding drugs will be fined and jail time depending in item of drug. Every house must have a emergency kit ready to use if in a civil emergency. Out of all the laws there was one I found particularly interesting, being on Sundays there is no usage of laundry/ wash machine and lawnmower.

One example how you can compare Japan and Norway to Switzerland by there low unemployment and low jail time fine rate of inflation. The Swiss Confederation, Norway, and Korea share the honor if it's solidly financed public policy. The population is the same as Honduras population but they do not allow guns and is not safe compared to Switzerland. Switzerland offers many advantages compared to other countries in the world.
