Swiss Confederacy (Merveilles du Monde Map Game)

The Swiss Confederacy is a nation comprised of several small states in the Alps region in an alliance of mutual defence and trade. The central government consists of a council of representatives from each state/canton to resolve disputes between states and decide foreign policy positions, but each canton is allowed to manage their own internal affairs. The central council primarily meets in Schwyz since 1332, making that city the de facto capital.

The Swiss Confederacy was formed in 1291 by a charter between the cantons of Schwyz, Unterwalden and Uri.
