About Switzerland
Switzerland is a landlocked country in central Europe, bordered by Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. The Alps cover much of the south, the Jura mountains lie in the north-west, and most people live on the Swiss Plateau between them. The country has many lakes, including Lake Geneva, and the Rhine and the Rhône both rise in its mountains. The climate varies with altitude, from mild valleys to alpine peaks. Bern is the federal city, and Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Lausanne are major cities. German, French, Italian and Romansh are the national languages.
The Swiss Confederation traces its origins to an alliance of alpine communities in the late thirteenth century, and the modern federal state was established in 1848. The country is organised as a federation of cantons, is known for its long-standing neutrality, and hosts many international organisations, particularly in Geneva. Switzerland is known for its mountain scenery, railways, chocolate, cheese and watchmaking. Its economy is built on banking and finance, pharmaceuticals, precision engineering, insurance and tourism.

03Highs and lows
Where Switzerland stands out
The two ends of its own record: every statistic on which Switzerland sits within ten places of the best or worst in the world, plus its strongest and weakest readings overall. Each is turned into a percentile — its place among every country measured — which is what lets a hunger score and a press-freedom rank be compared at all.
Where Switzerland does best48
In the top third of all countries measured. 48 are within ten places of the best in the world, in a field of at least 50 countries — marked with that place.

Sources and how to read them
How to read this page
- The scores and ranks belong to their publishers. Nothing is adjusted, rescaled or re-ranked; each is reproduced from the edition named beside it. Where a row says position · derived, the publisher ranks nobody on that measure and the position is ours, made by ordering the published score.
- Each statistic shows its newest edition, which is not always the edition the Country Index uses: the index pins every source to one data year so its average compares like with like.
How a standing is built from percentiles, why Switzerland can move because other countries moved, and why publishers measure between 120 and 215 countries each are set out in full in how a standing is made and what a standing cannot tell you.
