Switzerland , in its full name the Swiss Association , is a central republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the central authorities. The country is located in Western Europe, where it is enclosed by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.

Switzerland is a surrounded by land country geologically separated between the Alps, the Central Plateau and the Jura, spanning an area of 41,285 km (15,940 sq mi). While the Alps inhabit the better part of the territory, the Swiss population of around 7.9 million 

People  concentrates typically on the Plateau, where the biggest cities are to be found. Among them are the two worldwide cities and economic centers of Zurich and Geneva. The Swiss Confederation has a lengthy history of objectivity it has not been in a state of war globally since 1815—and did not join the United Nations until 2002. It pursues, on the other hand, an active foreign rule and is normally complicated in peace-building processes around the world. Switzerland is also the place of birth of the Red Cross and home to a large number of worldwide organization, including the second biggest UN office. On the European level, it is a founding member of the European Free Trade Association and is part of the Scheme Area– although it is particularly not a member of the European Union, nor the European Economic Area.

In nominal terms, Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic product, with a ostensible per capita GDP of $75,835. In 2010, Switzerland had the highest prosperity per mature of any country in the world (with $372,692 for each person). Switzerland also has one of the world's biggest account balances as a proportion of GDP. Zurich and Geneva have correspondingly been ranked as the cities with the second and third maximum excellence of life in the world. In 2010 the World Economic Forum ranked Switzerland as the most spirited country in the world, while ranked by the European Union as Europe's most inventive country by far.

Switzerland comprise three main linguistic and intellectual regions: German, French, and Italian, to which the Romansh-speaking valleys are added. The Swiss therefore do not form a nation in the sense of a common ethnic or linguistic identity. The strong sense of belonging to the country is founded on the common historical background, shared values (federalism, direct democracy, neutrality) and Alpine representation. The organization of the Swiss confederacy is usually dated to 1 August 1291; Swiss National Day is celebrated on the anniversary.
