The inhabitants are called the Swiss. The country is called Switzerland. It's not under-developed, and is the world's wealthiest country per capita. "Swiss cheese" is an English language concept - lot's of varieties of cheese from many different countries have holes but, speakers of English have latched onto the idea that only Swiss cheese comes with holes. It's neither fake nor a hoax - just a cliche,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland

"For much of the 20th century, Switzerland was the wealthiest country in Europe by a considerable margin (per capita GDP).[144] Switzerland has one of the world's largest account balances as a percentage of GDP.[145] In 2018, the canton of Basel-City had the highest GDP per capita, ahead of Zug and Geneva.[146] According to Credit Suisse, only about 37% of residents own their own homes, one of the lowest rates of home ownership in Europe. Housing and food price levels were 171% and 145% of the EU-25 index in 2007, compared to 113% and 104% in Germany.[147]"

A a does make a lot of implausible claims.

I suppose he could have been dropped on his head as kid, but this does seem improbable. If his family had that kind of money, they might be expected to keep him in a protected environment and stop him making a nuisance of himself by posting huge volumes of fatuous nonsense to our user group.
