Switzerland is a landlocked country in central Europe composed of 26 cantons, with Bern as the federal city. The country is geographically divided among the Swiss Alps, the Swiss Plateau, and the Jura Mountains, with the Alps covering most of the territory. Major urban centers including Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne, Winterthur, and Lucerne host the majority of the country's 9 million people and significant economic activity.
The country encompasses four principal linguistic and cultural regions—German, French, Italian, and Romansh—reflecting a long-standing tradition of multilingualism and cultural pluralism. Switzerland maintains a well-developed tourism industry and is known for banking, pharmaceuticals, watchmaking, precision engineering, chocolate production, and cheese.
