Switzerland (German: Schweiz; French: Suisse; Italian: Svizzera; Romansh: Svizra), officially the Swiss Confederation (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, abbreviated to CH), is a country in western Europe. The country is known for its banking industry, and used to be a haven for millionaires to open a bank account because of its policy to protect the privacy of all account holders. Switzerland is also known for being a neutral country since early 19th century. It has not been involved in any wars and has opted out of political organizations like the European Union and NATO.

The capital of Switzerland is Berne. The country has four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh.
