Switzerland, Federal republic in Central Europe.
Switzerland spans across three distinct geographical regions: the Alps mountain range, the central plateau between Geneva and Lake Constance, and the Jura mountains.
The Federal Charter of 1291 established the Swiss Confederation when the three cantons Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden formed an alliance against Habsburg control.
The Swiss population communicates in four national languages: German represents 63%, French 23%, Italian 8%, and Romansh maintains official status in Graubunden canton.
Swiss transportation network includes 5,300 kilometers of railways connecting major cities through mountain tunnels, with regular services between terminals every 30 minutes.
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN laboratory near Geneva stretches 27 kilometers in circumference through both Switzerland and France territory.
