There is a lot more to Switzerland than beautiful surroundings, chocolate, wrist watches, faceless bankers, and spotless locations. The true Switzerland is filled with surprises and anything but bland. This small, rugged, landlocked country at the heart of Europe is a confederation since the first three cantons came collectively in a defensive alliance in 1291. Four national dialects are spoken within its edges. Its present 26 cantons are basically autonomous and keep their individual personas. Within this grassroots democracy, real electricity lies with folks, who exercise it immediately through repeated referendums. Swissness is, above all, a heart of independence and of communal participation.
