A small neutral country in central Europe, Switzerland is famous for lots of things, such as banking, chocolate, watches, weed and the Swiss Alps. Switzerland lies between Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.
There are four official languages: German, French, Italian and Retoroman. These four languages differ slightly from the original languages, and there are many different accents spoken as well.
Though the city of Bern is being used as the capital, officially Switzerland doesn't have a capital. Zürich is the biggest city of Switzerland. Other well-known cities are Basel, Geneva and Lausanne.

A small land locked country in Central Europe surrounded by epic mountains and a bunch of countries who have done some crazy shit in the past, all of which Switzerland has refused to take part in. Switzerland has relatively high taxes, but because of this the government can afford to let everyone be parents for a couple of years whenever they have a baby, then when that baby is in high school the government pays for him to learn his way around an M-16. This is why nobody has ever had a beef with the Swiss, or if they did they sure kept quiet about it.
"Switzerland has always had a military draft-they have to, because they're surrounded by bastards." -Dr. John C. Freemuth

European country, although not in Europe, Switzerland is home to people who live together but never speak to each other except on exceptional circumstances, however then in English (which is not an official language despite there are already 4 of them). Being a neutral country, the military service is mandatory and equivalent to about one year altogether for each male citizen. If neutrality was in need of protection, each male citizen has a military assault rifle ready for use at home. However, no one ever thought about using it to kill someone else: Swiss people are very respectful of instructions and were prohibited to use their rifle for military purposes.
Switzerland is considered a tax paradise, not because of its taxes (which are quite significant eventually) but just because the other countries would prefer that their citizens come back paying them in their jurisdiction instead of elsewhere.
