Switzerland

About Switzerland

Switzerland, a landlocked confederation in the heart of Europe, folds the Alps and Jura mountains around a populous central plateau. Bern, its de facto capital, retains a medieval old town looped by the Aare River. Four national languages, a famously neutral foreign policy, and centuries-old traditions of direct democracy define a nation equally renowned for precision watchmaking, chocolate, and mountain scenery.

• ·Switzerland's internet code .ch comes from Confoederatio Helvetica, a Latin name chosen to favor none of its four national languages.
• ·The Swiss flag is square, a shape it shares with only one other national flag: Vatican City's.
• ·Switzerland has no legally designated capital; Bern is officially just the 'federal city' where the government sits.
