Switzerland is the belly of the beast. The esoteric structures and symbolism is everywhere
The whole vitamin business. Mother of autism
Although your point is indisputable and the significance of the strategic role the country has played. For example the central bank of all central banks i.e the Bank for International Settlements. I argue head of the snake is a rootless group of internationalists that feels at home everywhere because they are.
I live in Italy less then one hour from the Swiss border, so I visited it a lot of times, and yes, Switzerland is a beautiful country: clean, organised and dignified. Thumbs up for CH!
+Ankeize thank you, very kind of you!
Vulpes Inculta I speak Italian and Swiss
L'Italia e la svizzera sono molto belle.
D'Italie ond D'Schwitz si ganz schön. Ech choome us Lözärn.
@@elisarenggli Chum scho Lözärn, ernstahft jetzt ? Segs doch eifach normal Luzern oder Luzärn und JA ich chum us Züri (:
Grazie fratello!
I can’t wait to go when I get my citizenship
The canton where we speak Romansh is not called Grambünden. It is called Graubünden.
+Bauimo Yes, my mistake, sorry.
Everything You Need to Know
no problem haha : )
+Everything You Need to Know Wanted to write that too, but saw this comment. :D
you speak romash?
svedego
if the question goes to me: no. There are just a few 1000 people in Switzerland, which speak that language
Did anyone notice that the map of "1500" is actually a map of 1914?
I am swiss and I really appreciate direct democracy and autonomous rights to each canton. I think our model of democracy should be tried out in other countries.
I AM HAPPY YOU ARE PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY.
Only if they're the size of Switzerland.
-Texas
I agree. Swiss Democracy rocks. I wish I were a Swiss citizen.
yes you democracy is so good you are not just a tax haven of german elites... loool pay high taxes and everything super expensive so you give jets to ucrain.... thats direct... to their pockets....
Meh. Can you imagine Americans voting on direct democracy?
Awesome video! Few errors (already pointed out) but a really nice video, great quality and pretty accurate!
Greetings from Canton Ticino!
The bit about Bank secrecy is correct, but a bit outdated: the fabled Bank Secrecy of Switzerland is coming to an end (and has already ended in many contexts). Unsurprisingly, many of the companies and people who need secret money havens have moved away from Switzerland: Luxembourg for example has put bank secrecy in their constitution (which cannot be overruled by EU laws). Malta has similar conditions, and others.
One Point: Bank secrecy is dead. But besides that, great video.
+SteveRoy For USA, Germany etc. yes. But now, the Banks look for new people in asia and africa. The business must go on :)
+Schlachter94 the banking sector makes only 10% of the GDP. So we're not really dependent on the banks.
Good job. I would like to hear more about Switzerland.
Little is known about the real rulers of the world....they all rule from Basel and Luzerne...I'm still in the process of going deep into rabbit hole
Tell me something I can start this learning journey with
I lived in Switzerland for over 2 years and yes its quite expensive. Just for groceries we spent about $170-$200 each week in us dollars, but my oh my is the food good.
you also earn more. so its not really a problem.
with the new communication techniques and infrastructures a direct democracy isnt impossible for canada or any other 1st world country
Excellent video! For describing Switzerland's history and political system in a nutshell, you've done a great job. I like to think of our system as a representative democracy with some concepts of direct democracy mixed in: 90% of the time it works like most representative democracies, but if need arises, citizens can invoke some powerful instruments of direct democracy.
bet you cant actually do any direct democracy. just like people cant actually work to earn money in eurocentric countries
My grandparents live there and my mum was born there so we visit it every year it’s so beautiful we stay in the south part
Thank you. That was very informative.
4:57... that's a map of Europe in 1914 at the outbreak of WWI... haha
As a swiss person the only thing u forgot to say is that we have a insurance for everything. I mean for example if i hit a car with my bike. I only have to pay a small part of it. Of course we have to pay for all that but many insurance are a must.
Great video! I am a Swiss from the french speaking part (Canton: Valais/Wallis) living in America for a year. You are right, there is a bunch of awesome stuff in Swiss history that you didn't talk about but it would take long. I also love our government and the respect they have with each other (compare to a Trump vs Jeb Bush discussion that looks like a middle school fight haha but no offense, America is great! No doubt!). Anyways you are very well documented and it always feels good to see people say cool stuff about my country! That was a great work! Good job! Feel free to come and visit Switzerland we have any type of landscapes :) (except for ocean sans beaches and deserts haha)
A lot of people in the comments fight or criticize every little detail, but I think it is important to tell when something is good, I know it takes courage and time to create a video like yours and I encourage you to keep up! Great job and see ya later!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. I am happy that you enjoyed the video and coming from a Swiss person that means even more. Thanks again!
Your video was great, I used it in my research for Switzerland for a school project, don't worry I created a citation for you, or for my paper, but you will get all the credit. Thanks for making my research a little bit easier. Have a great day
Unterwalden is no longer a canton, it's been split into two half cantons Obwalden and Nidwalden. My family emigrated from Switzerland in 1885, they were from Sarnen, Obwalden!
*****
Nah, my family (great-great-great grandfather) emigrated to Brazil. My Father immigrated to the US.
Back in Brazil, every August 1st they would have a "Switzerland day", where a big festival would be organized for Swiss heritage.
I didn't go there much though, since it's in a very rural area, there's ticks in the grass and I got food poisoning from eating a Cervelat once. Avoided sausages for at least 3 years I think.
Dunno about US, more of a Brazilian immigrant than a Swiss immigrant now...
*****
I got food poisoning in Brazil. Yes, I have visited Switzerland. Specifically Lake Lucerne, Winterthur (born there) and Zurich I think.
Incidentally I got Swiss citizenship because my Dad applied for it, inherited it because I was under 18, but I don't know German or have anything to do with Switzerland culturally. Not sure how I will go forward with this citizenship.
What part of Switzerland are you from?
dräcks tschifi😂 spass hassliebi
lol reading this from sarnen...:D
Smoothbluehero Sarnen is one of my favorite places..dont know why, the feeling I get there is special. Its about 40 min from my place..used to ride motorcycle there and swim in the lake.
THANKS for inserting the swiss flag correctly in this video!
It is a f*cking square and NOT a rectangle!
We visited Switzerland back in September 2012 on our way back from Lake Garda. For two nights, we used an industrial area near Susten beside the River Rhone in the canton of Valais/Wallis as our base. We found the locals there, very friendly and accommodating, however, the tourist areas such as Zermatt and Gornagrat (about an hours drive away), mostly the people were polite but very aloof. Onto a different subject, a good effort with your video but there are inaccuracies. I understand that up to 70% of the Swiss speak an entirely different dialect of German than that spoken in the neighbouring country to the North and even within Switzerland, again different dialects of Schweizerdeutsch. As Liar Game Winner infers, many of the 70% are probably trilingual but hey ho, I am sure this individual will put me right in a very perdantic way if I am wrong. The pincipality that I can not be bothered to spell is to the East of Switzerland and Swiss German can be spoken as far South as the Matterhorn, along with the possibility of a minority over the Italian border. Generally, as I mentioned before, we found in the industrial areas, the people more welcoming than tourist areas. Does this mean that even in monetary Switzerland, trade unions exist? If we had more time, it would have been a pleasure to meet our Swiss counterparts in the trade union movement. Alan Brown from England.
+Alan Brown Yes, trade unions are in fact quite strong here (as they are in most central and northern European nations I'd argue). That is for example why we don't have a nationally instituted minimum wage of the kind that progressive Americans are currently fighting for. Instead, the trade unions have made bilateral agreements with the employers and employer-representatives of most trades. In these agreements, compromises are made between the unions and the employer representatives to ensure good wages, decent amounts of paid leave and generally appropriate workers' rights and working conditions while still making sure to keep the companies profitable and afloat. Though I am personally not against a government-lead, constitutional minimum wage, we have found this system to work quite well.
As for your other statement about the friendliness/politeness, I would wholeheartedly agree with that. Generally speaking people in urban areas of Switzerland tend to be more obliging and friendly in my opinion (I live in a big city myself). Countryside folks can be rather... grumpy. It's not that they dislike you though, it's just sort of natural grumpiness haha ;-). I think it has something to do with the mountains. Both in Austria and Switzerland, the people living in the mountains or nearby are... well... a little "different" if you know what I mean ;-).
I hope to move to Switzerland in the future. Even though I'm very patriotic to my current country, both Swiss ideals and Swiss laws greatly appeal to me, and I think I'm already becoming a sort of Swiss-Patriot.
The only thing I need to do is learn German or French.
VintageLJ we German will take you way longer because first you have to learn German and then you have to atleast understand the dialect of your region( wich are all so different to standart german, so that a german can't understand a word of it).
VintageLJ you just can speak english in the citys of bern and zurich also nearly everything important is in english too cause of all the tourists and if you have a question just ask the younger people cause we have to learn english in school
Jocomol yes you could just speak english but it would be better for integration to know french or german or italian depending where you are
Same here!
awesome video, dude! exactly what I was looking for
Liechtenstein also borders to the east, not west. It was also shown in your map.
great video, more pls!
Wow, great video and very informative, at the end of the video I was ready to subscribe, and what really surprised me is the video quality compared to the number of subscribers and views. Aside from the butchering of names, the information was quite accurate.
Thanks and keep going, (Greetings from Geneva, Switzerland)
+Rafael Ramirez Thanks you so much for your kind words. i am glad you enjoyed the video and that means a lot from a Swiss person!
switzerland CAN be expensive, you can find things cheaper then what you think. Also the Swiss make more $$$ so they can afford higher overall prices
Would love to live in such small, clean, neutral country with high economics and free minded people. And Swiss have Eluveitie.
exlibrisas What is "Eluveitie" ?
One of the best Folk/Death metal bands out there.
Unfortunatelly Switzerland has "become" very racist in the past couple of years, or the racism has shown more. If you are willing to addabt you might be welcome here if you are well educated and work in a high tech business. If not, bad luck.
The politics has become more rude and less consent based.
I still like Switzerland overall, but it has its downsides and its not that free minded as you might think.
And I have not heard of Eluveitie yet ;D
John Doe in Switzerland. There is a huge rural and urban divide
Great videos man. Post to reddit, su, everywhere. Chock full of potential.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I have actually been posting on reddit and that is how I have been getting most of my views. I have never tried Stumble Upon but now that you bring it up I will give it a shot. Anyways, thanks for the support and feedback!
As a swiss citizen I learned more about switzerland than in all my time in school. Thank you :)
Seems like an amazing country
Christian Matos i promise it is

The large size of Canada and the difficulty of assembling voters for 3 or 4 votes a year is a piss-poor argument against direct democracy for Canada. We are not living in the 19th century and our current form of democracy is democratic for a few moments once every 5 years. We don’t have democracy in Canada.
Knighrs Templar connection is what I was hoping to hear about
Awesome video!!!!!
I have travell in Switzerland
(in Zurich and Basel)
and i liked so much this country!!!!
I would want to live there!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your informative video. Each minutes are so worthy. Very simple summary abt Switzerland ! Great job! Keep going!!
I am Swiss but haven't been back in 2 decades. Earlier lived in Lausanne. Soon going back there n hope will not go through a cultural shock. I have lived in Bangkok. I have been googling and devouring all about Switzerland so as to prepare myself.🇨🇭😍
I'm swiss and I really like this vid :) keep it up! :D
Hi! I'm from Switzerland and didn't know some of this! Thank you
I know it's a beautiful country, i have been to Grindelwald and loved it, and if everything goes well i hope to retired in Switzerland in about one year.I had read the book "Target Switzerland" and i read the US is the sister republic of Switzerland, and in 1776 the founding fathers brought the constitution to US with many ideas taken from Swiss constitution from 1291.America, will have to break up to 50 countries to make it work.
With the mountainous terrain I'm assuming there are some sweet castles. Also heard many Templars fled there after 1307 would love to know more
Your video was very informational. You should make a video focused on Swiss economy. That would be interesting to learn about.
Thumbs up :)
average pay is much more in Switzerland so most people can afford a 10 dollar burger at McDonald's
Awesome video! Some other really interesting things I think to note about this exceptional country is its linguistic diversity, extremely libertarian nature, and incredible defense system.
Thank you finally someone making a video about my beautiful country
+Everything You Need to Know : Thank you for this amazing video you made about the beautiful country we swiss people are living in :)
We hope to welcome you one day here in Switzerland ....see you
The audio is too low!! :c
THANK YOU, THIS HELPED ME A LOT ON MY PROJECT!
I have a problem with the system of banking in Switzerland. It seems suspect to me. I agree it is beautiful, quite perfect at first glance. However will working inCosta Rica I was aware of a Swiss teacher where I was living. From what I saw and heard, Switzerland isn’t nearly as perfect as presented.
Good video, even though there are a few inaccurancies in the history section. If I were you I would have mentioned 1515 which was quite a big year for the Swiss Confederation because of the Battle of Marignano.
Excellent!
I wish you still made videos, I really enjoyed all of them, you really could have a shot at growing your channel if you kept going
If you happen to redo this video:
- Include the Battle of Marignano 1515. It's part of the reason for Switzerlands neutrality.
- Explain more about the collaboration of Switzerland and Nazi Germany during the 2nd WW. And why you can't go up to any swiss guy today and tell him he's a nazi...
- Include that due to the population growth we are having more and more initiatives and referendums on unimportant matters. This keeps the administration busy and is expensive. (We voted on whether we should saw off cows horns or forbid it)
- Update your information about the Bank accounts. US-Citizens can't have a bank account in switzerland anymore!
- Explain more about the influence of inflation in the EU to switzerland. (Trade becomes expensive)
it's weird to hear the viennese waltz in background in this video about switzerland
I noticed, too. But then again, would you rather have Yodel?
Missing and important is what changed in Switzerland following the Christian Crusades for plunder and property in the Middle East and other Muslim areas.
When all those those people left to fightm, die and get injured, who was left behind to capitalize on business and especially, banking?
How did the small center of power get that way? Why banking?
Basel is also an important city, especially for bordering france and germany and other reasons
wow, dont take the other comments too serius, im from switzerland and i loved the video. There were a few mistakes, as youve already been told :D Greatly researched
I like how France keeps saying merde 😂😂😂
+Mariva DeBorde Just a bit of humor i threw in. Glad you enjoyed it and it didn't fall flat.
Mistake in the beginning. Liechtenstein is in the east of Schwitzerland, not in the west.
Thank you! :)
7:31 made my mind blow a little
It is pretty mind blowing that Switzerland accepted so many refugees back then. With the current situation in Syria we need more charity like this. Anyways, glad you enjoyed the video!
New law? Swipe left for no and right for yes 😂
When mentioning the Protestant Reformation at 8:10 it is inappropriate to insert an image of Martin Luther, who was decidedly not Swiss. Switzerland engendered the two of the three seminal Reformation figures *Zwingli* and *Calvin,* but not *Luther,* who stemmed from Germany.

Great video. Switzerland was never invaded during WWII as you point out. This is astonishing given its tiny size and that it borders on Germany, and is populated mostly by (Swiss) German speaking people. In fact they were surrounded on all FOUR sides by NAZI nations (F, D, I, A). Two of the main reasons for this are that they were neutral and full of difficult mountains. Yet...Holland, Belgium and others were neutral. And they got butchered. The third reason that kept them safe, and is hardly ever mentioned: they were ARMED and neutral. Not their army, but their *population*. Every single household was armed and better trained in firing those guns than the German infantrymen. Armed neutrality is the key Swiss concept that averted major bloodshed.
Interesting point, thanks for raising it
very good history
Hello and thank you goodnight
3:30, but l came here for the Roman and dark ages stuff
I think you should mention their language politics when it comes to the three legislative languages and the four national languages and how they tried to use High german but after the Nazis decided to not speak it, and the fact that during this time of Facism how romansch became an ofical language and so much more about the languages!
You forgot to mention mandatory military service ( °).( °)
Thank you very much for this great introduction of our country. You were right to point out the light and the shadow of our heritage. I also think that our direct democracy is awesome. I don't miss a single ballot. What you didn't mention was the ease in which people can exercise their right to vote. When I hear about the voter restriction laws in the USA....One more thing: By and large I find governmental institutions or government run corporations very efficient and customer friendly. I find that out government truly delivers a "service public" which is also seen as such by most (in fact very soon we will vote to strengthen this service). Funny enough, a politician like Bernie Sanders would be quite normal in Switzerland....a politician like Donald Trump, too, though.
Nice video ! Although I must confess I was a bit deceived not to hear you talk about the educational system in Switzerland ! Being swiss this is the thing I am the most proud of along with the direct democracy ! It seems very complicated to foreign people but it has been praised by many foreign head of state like the french president ( and believe France does not praise Switzerland easily !
P.S : Our democracy is so "direct" that one year ago we voted about wether the swiss air force should buy new jets; )
yep bet you bought germans ones and give them to ucraine... so direct indeed.... pay the taxes dummy.
Liechtenstein is to the east(with Austria) , not west...
Anyway nice Video with many interesting informations👍👍

Great video, well researched!
Although, you should have included the reputation of swiss mercenaries and their role as papal guard to drive home the "i-dont-want-to-fight-them"-factor.
Edit edit: Our food and accomodations are pricey, but expensive electronics tend to be cheaper: PC hardware for example is cheaper than in germany, and that's absolute pricing, not relative to GDP. My 4090 was cheaper than in Germany or France despite my "relatively" higher purchasing power. Medical drugs on the other hand are disproportionally more expensive compared to neighbouring countries.
I thank you for your very interesting vid. It is amazing ... great job.
I am Swiss and would correct you on two elements. Which IMO are important.
The history of a bunch of farmers, going in revolution against Austria (the habsbourg) in 1292, that grew with other cantons joining them has been crucial. The governmental structure is so democratic because it was built bottom up !!! with direct democracy in mind. Unlike many other nations that had Kings and Queens and passed onto a "democracy" that still gave advantages to the upper classes. (understand that this equality not only makes that if the president makes a car accident with an illegal allien, and the president made a mistake ... he will pay ... it is a truly fair country where anyone has his chance).
The huge mistake is that you cannot hide money here, not more than in many other countries. There are laws, they are very strict .... and disclosures about legal beneficiaries and provenance of money have become ridiculous. Not to be in confusion with a company that wants to establish its head office here, in which case they would pay local taxes on income which are lower than in many other countries. Then again .... they could go straight to true" tax heavens" ... . That is not something particular to Switzerland but you can go anywhere and establish your head office if you want optimize your taxes. The fact that Switzerland offers quality labor force probably helps in attracting "head offices" that look for a stable place with low taxes and good work force to be.
I speak Romash and im swiss
My parents was both mothertongue romansch, but they moved to zurich before my birth and never really talked to me in romansch... So i'm sadly not able to speak romansch...

this helped me for my mun hehe
Can I want to introduce people with people Switzerland " Swiss" please ?
Dude, your map for 1500 is from the early 20th century, this video is very poorly made information wise
Latvia can do same referendums. And with 150 000 signatures we can even pass through law
This video seems oddly misplaced!?
I don't think it is fair to say that 8.1 million people is not a lot when we actually have a population density much higher than a lot of countries (like the USA or France for exemple)
The map at 5:00 couldn't be wronger. Unified italy in the 1500s, yeeees sure... :/ ehm, it looks way more like 1914.
I really thought it was up there with Norway but no it is near France wow
Okay, that is enough. Whenever I go to these videos I always see people in the comment section saying, “I am Swiss”, then continuing to state they are mad at the video for this, or that. I am from Switzerland, I live in Switzerland. I live in a German speaking Canton and region. Don’t say that Germans, French and Austrian Swiss are all together happily in, “Swiss” culture. That is false. We are heavily influenced by Germany, France and Italy depending on the region you are from. Fuck off with all these trolls just trying to troll people pretending to be Swiss. The only Swiss culture is banking and conformity 4life.
You made a great video about my home country. But I have somme comments and corrections
what has direct democracy do with travel? in Switzerland you can vote in each City/Village. So you don't have to travel.
Grambünden is called Graubünden, and Liechtenstein lies in the east not in the west. Your right about Kim Jong Ung. He went to school in Switzerland. But only becaus he was here with an fake passport. Also the bank secrecy is no more. Switzerland has agreed in 2014, to use the OECD regultion about automatic information exchange in tax matters.
I was really interested in moving to Switzerland but then I heard of how expensive it is.
I really dont understand why or how it can be as expensive as people are claiming.
+Kyle Landry try to look up the benefits gained by that expesive life, also in switzerland you earn alot more than you would think aswell, so as a citizen it works out, as a tourist it is very expensive......
+Kyle Landry we also have very strict animal farm rules, which makes meat here really expensive, but its for a greater good so we dont mind :)
If you wanna move to Switzerland and Work in Switzerland it isn't expensive. But if you wanna move to Switzerland and work anywhere else (example: Germany/France/Italy) then it gets expensive.
Good content
Thank you!
I would love to visit Switzerland some day, but there are rumours that the swiss are racist and that scares me, plus i hear stuffs are really expensive in Switzerland
Opara Prince the further up the mountain and in valleys you go, the more racists they are. Bigger cities have a few blacks..
Switzerland aiding the Axis wasn't them sympathizing for them
Switzerland sympathized for the allies but need to make *both sides* happy so if anything it kinda tributary out of fear.
haha, no pizza, I will get it in Ticino
Ticonno
ofc the very 'ancient' history of Switzerland isn't crucial to be known nowadays. But if you really want to understand the Swiss, or a Swiss wants to understand himself/herself, you need to take the past we're coming from into consideration as well. We are an old tribal mountanous people. That goes so deep, that the Swiss appear to foreigners as cold or not welcoming. Does this now make more sense knowing we were isolated tribesmen? Why are we punctual? Because we always were very dependent on each other. It can get dark and cold very quickly in the alpine area, it is hard to get something done there due to the harsh environment. So being punctual, or better said keeping your promises and being well organised helped you and your tribe a alot to prosper.
intro music sure isnt swiss mate....more likely german....just saying
switzeridoo It's by Tchaikovsky from russia the nutcracker
The only reason direct democracy works in Switzerland is because of the decentralization of powers, and hence the limited ability of one canton to impose rules and values upon another. The system works, but likely could not survive an absolute majority or dramatic demographic change opposed to its fundamental values.
