Switzerland,
officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked alpine
country in Central Europe. The country, which borders
Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the
south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east, was
historically a confederation, and has been a federation
since 1848. Switzerland has a strong economy in finance
and banking, and a long and strong tradition of political
and military neutrality. This background allows Switzerland
to host various international co-operations and organizations.
Confoederatio Helvetica, the country's official Latin
name, means Helvetic Confederation. The use of Latin avoids
having to favour one of the four national languages. The
abbreviation (CH) is used for the same reason. The titles
commonly used in French , Italian (Confederazione Svizzera)
and Romansh (Confederaziun svizra) translate as "Swiss
Confederation", while the German name of Schweizerische
Eidgenossenschaft translates literally as "Swiss
Oath Fellowship" or "Swiss Commonwealth of the
Covenant". A male native of Switzerland is said to
be a Schweizer and a female is a Schweizerin in Swiss
German; Suisse (male) or Suissesse (female) in Swiss French
and svizzero (male) or svizzera (female) in Swiss Italian
