Tell about Switzerland ?

hi

1. Switzerland was originally called Helvetia.

2. The official name of Switzerland is Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin.

3. Switzerland produces the most chocolate in the world.

You probably wouldn't have thought this but Switzerland has some of the most liberal gun laws of any country (2.3–4.5 million guns in a population of 8 million)

It also has one of the lowest crime rates in the world..

Foreigners account for 23% of Switzerland's roughly 8 million people..

Switzerland isn't all mountains, in the south there are actually palm trees around Lake Lugano

Switzerland has 4 national languages - German, French, Italian, and Romansch..

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Quality of Life Index, Switzerland is the best place to be born. This takes into account employment, crime levels, quality of life, healthcare, happiness, etc.

It has 208 mountains over 3,000 meters high and 24 over 4,000 meters

The stereotype is true, chocolate really is a major export..

In case of a nuclear war the Swiss have bunkers capable of housing their entire population..

Also in case of war, they can easily convert their highways into landing strips by removing the grade separations..

Oftentimes, when visiting or living in foreign countries, you feel like you stick out like a sore thumb with your different appearance, heavy accent, or complete lack of knowledge of the language.

But in Switzerland, foreigners compose about 23% of the population! So go ahead and join the Switzerland foreigner club.

Once you pass the age of 20, graduate from college, and have an income, the pressure from the parentals about grandbabies and gossip from the aunts about your dating life may increase.

But maybe you just want to live life calmly at your own pace! So if this is one of your woes in life, just go to Switzerland where later marriage is commonplace.

The average marriage age for men is 31.8 and 29.5 for women.

It's always kind of lame when the quality food or drink a country is known for producing never actually stays within the borders. However, only about 2% of Switzerland's wine leaves the country.

The Swiss produce about 200 million liters of wine per year and consume almost all of it themselves.

Since it never goes too far, you can always count on a good homegrown drink and good company. In 2015, the average Swiss drank 56.5 litres of beer and 36 litres of wine.

Because Switzerland has such a diverse population, it has declared four national languages: French (20.4%), German (64%), Italian (6.5%), and Romansh (just a little over 1%).

Just one more reason to feel comfortable as a foreign visitor or resident—it's perfectly acceptable to not understand what someone says to you, because nobody understands everybody!

It's thanks to the Swiss that we have the handiness of clocks on our wrists.
