They have the Highest Human Development Index which points to how the government spends on providing high quality education, health and other public sector services.
However, all these countries also lack a strong and powerful military which can actually provide capable defense.
Switzerland is a neutral country while many Northern European countries are part of the NATO. As the United States spends the bulk of all money at NATO, these countries actually save billions of dollars every year.

If a country is at the top of the world's human development index rankings, it is also likely that it does not have the greatest military. This is due to a problem of limited resources. Countries have a budget that is limited, and they need to decide where to allocate their money. If a country cares a lot about its military (like the United States, or North Korea), then it will invest most of its money there. On the other hand, a country that does not care about this as much is more likely to invest on development.
