Most Swiss live in towns and cities, not in the idyllic rural landscapes that captivated the world through Johanna Spyri 's Heidi (1880-81), the country's best-known literary work.
Switzerland was formed in 1291 by an alliance of cantons against the Habsburg dynasty-the Confoederatio Helvetica (or Swiss Confederation), from which the abbreviation CH for Switzerland derives-though only in 1848, when a new constitution was adopted, was the present nation formed.
The high level of citizen involvement prompted the renowned 20th-century Swiss playwright and ironist Friedrich Dürrenmatt to allegorize Switzerland as a prison in which each Swiss citizen was at the same time prisoner and guard.
