Switzerland, officially Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, Confédération suisse or Confederazione Svizzera, is a landlocked country in west-central Europe. It is bordered by Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. Switzerland is geographically divided between the Swiss Plateau, the Alps and the Jura; the Alps occupy the greater part of the territory, whereas most of the country's population of nine million people are concentrated on the plateau, which hosts its largest cities and economic centers, including Zürich, Geneva and Basel. Switzerland originates from the Old Swiss Confederacy established in the late Middle Ages, following a series of military successes against Austria and Burgundy; the Federal Charter of 1291 is considered the country's founding document.
