Switzerland (German: die Schweiz, French: Suisse, Italian: Svizzera, Romansh: Svizra), officially the Swiss Confederation (Confœderatio Helvetica in Latin, hence its ISO country code CH), is a landlocked nation of 7.5 million people in Western Europe with an area of 41,285 km². Switzerland is divided administratively into 26 cantons, six of which are sometimes referred to as "half-cantons," since they stemmed from the split of three cantons and have as a consequence only a single representative in the Council of States. Its capital is Berne, while the largest city in Switzerland is Zürich (which was named the city with the best quality of life in the world in 2006 and 2007)
