I've been to Switzerland...it's a beautiful place. The food is lacking...kinda bland. The thing that angered me the most is the neutrality thing. I mean you're neutral in a European war...but Americans go over and die helping.....how is that not the lamest form of cowardice. I don't get it. |

i would like to see a map of wengen, suisse, circa of 1944-1945, since my father was shot down over that area in WWII.
He passed away in july 2007, and his children would like any and all information relating to that period. Mainly, at the Palace hotel and the Grand Hotel, in Wengen and Neushetal, suisse. |

To build on what toshiro was saying, Swiss German is the most commonly spoken language in Switzerland, with 65% of the population speaking it. It is spoken in the northern, eastern, and central parts of Switzerland, in areas near Austria and Germany. Zurich and Bern are major cities within the Swiss German-speaking region. The Swiss German region is where fondue, bratwurst, and chocolate come from, and it is also known for its great mountains and alpine skiing. French is the second most commonly spoken language in Switzerland, with 18% of the population speaking it. It is spoken in the western part of the country, in areas near France. Geneva is a major city within the French-speaking region, and is famous for being an international city and the home of the red cross. Italian is the third most commonly spoken language in Switzerland, with 16% of the population speaking it. It is spoken in the southern part of the country, in areas near Italy. The region is also known for its great mountains, as well as beautiful lakes. Lugano is the major city in this region. |

Gabby, the army is for defense of the country, just in case an aggressor ever dared to attack the country. |

It hasn't. That's why it was part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire just like that. Kind of remaining neutral country while wars occurred. |

The Federal Assembly is, comparatively speaking, the 'President' of Switzerland. But it also incorporates Ministers (of Defence, Interior, Exterior, Culture, etc.).
They also propose laws and such to the two assemblies (Nationalrat and Ständerate, delegates of the different regions, called 'cantons'. The Ständerat has two delegates per canton, and the Nationalrat has a number of delegates correlating to population size).
The people remains as the highest authority, in most regards, however.
I guess the language Michael is referring to is Swiss German, which is, basically, a German dialect and roughly restricted to the area north of the Alps, south of the Rhine, east of the Lake of Biel and west of Lake Constance.
The dialect itself varies greatly within that area, and has words and phrases sometimes unique to only one village, although that has been decreasing over time (what with increased mobility and especially radio, TV and internet). |

While it would be lovely to have a country of expert snipers, I dont believe that these would have much carry in the modern age of warfare. Hitler wasn't scared of invading Switzerland, but much rather needed it for his own financial purposes and was always threatening to invade it as the last piece in his pan-European puzzle. Neutrality in Switzerland is btw a nice little piece of 'fact' that has been blown completely out of proportions and resembles more 'fiction' in the 21st century. |

Why does Switzerland maintain a conscription-based military? |

Also, in response to Tina...
By some measures, Switzerland is the most militarized nation on Earth. You do NOT want to invade Switzerland. Yes, the terrain is rough. If you can get past that and are still so unwise as to do what even Hitler didn't attempt, you would literally be facing a nation of expert snipers. |
