The state that was neutral in the First World War is Switzerland, which has the oldest policy of military neutrality in the world. This country did not participate in the Second World War too, and its policy is self-imposed and lasting. As such, it was a convenient place for diplomacy, the warring parties had an interest in keeping Switzerland neutral due to espionage and trade, as well as a safe place for refugees.

The answer is: Switzerland

A nation that remained neutral in World War I was "Switzerland," due mostly to the fact that they did not represent a significant entity when it came to strategy for either side of the conflict.
