This sounds like it ought to be in the Onion, but it's real:
ZURICH, Switzerland - What began as a routine training exercise almost ended in an embarrassing diplomatic incident after a company of Swiss soldiers got lost at night and marched into neighboring Liechtenstein.
According to Swiss daily Blick, the 170 infantry soldiers wandered just over a mile across an unmarked border into the tiny principality early Thursday before realizing their mistake and turning back.
...
Interior ministry spokesman Markus Amman said nobody in Liechtenstein had even noticed the soldiers, who were carrying assault rifles but no ammunition.

It could have gotten really embarrasing if they had proceeded to conquer Liechtenstein by mistake. "Excuse me, General? We've, um, accidentally taken Liechtenstein. What should we do with it?" :p

Haven't seen seven other threads on this, so I didn't know it had been done to death. Please return to your pointless existence. Have a nice day.

Umm... how do you "accidentally" wander from Switzerland to Liechtenstein? Isn't there kind of a river between them?
