History
Politics and Government
Switzerland is one of the main constituents of the Holy Roman Empire.
Heads of State
Switzerland is ruled by a president, which rotates every three years, and a council of senators (one from each state). Most decisions require only a majority vote (11/20); more important issues require a quailified-majority vote (15/20). The president casts the deciding vote in the event of a tie.
The Prince of Graubünden is also the Protector of Switzerland, as well as being Duke of Milan and Emperor of Austria.
