Switzerland borders Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is a confederation and has a long and strong tradition of political and military neutrality. This background allows Switzerland various international co-operations and organizations. Someone living in this country is said to be a Schweizer (if you are male) or a Schweizerin (if you are female), in Swiss German; suisse (male) or suissesse (female) in Swiss French and svizzerro (male) or svizzera in Swiss Italian

Confoederatio Helvetica is the country's official Latin name. The use of Latin avoids having to favor one of the four official languages. The abbreviation (CH) is similarly used. The Latin title Confoederatio Helvetica means Helvetic Confederation. The titles commonly used in French, Italian and Romansh translate as Swiss Confederation, while the German name of Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft translates literally as "Swiss Oath Fellowship" or "Swiss Commonwealth of the Covenant".

History

Switzerland is a federation of relatively autonomous cantons, some of which have a history of confederacy that goes back more than 700 years, arguably putting them among the world's oldest surviving republics.
