My googles slides about the 26 Swiss Cantons

  1. Just if you want to add in, we don’t speak the same german as Germans. We speak a variety of german called alemannic german or most people here call it swiss german.

  2. Looks good what I see.

    I would think about may add the size and number of citizens gor each canton.

    In my experience the people at least in the US tend to get mindblown when they get to know about how small everything is here.
    Seems to don’t really get into their heads, that a city like Zürich with less than 400k could be important enough to be known worldwide.

  3. Don’t know the goal of this presentation, but the subdivisions of each canton don’t seem that interesting to me. I wouls rather add the population and some specific characteristics of each canton.

    (e.g. some cantons are known for being: finance/banking center, crypto valley, mountainous, political center, international organizations, pharma center, tiny, special form of direct democracy, etc.)

  4. Berne is by constitution a „federal city“ as others explained.

    So no de jure capital, but de facto Berne, hosting the Parliament and federal executive government.

    The main courts are again somewhere else:
    The federal criminal court -> Lausanne
    The federal administrative court -> St Gallen
    The federal (civil) court -> Lausanne

  5. Been to Kreuzlingen a couple of times. It’s a little bit boring but I liked it. If you want something more alive there’s always Konstanz at the other side of the border. I wish I lived in Switzerland.
