Switzerland (スイス Suisu?), officially the Swiss Confederation is a country located in central Europe. Switzerland is a land-locked country and shares borders with five countries; Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.

Background[]

Switzerland is recognized as permanently neutral country, with treaties stating that the country has abandoned the right to go to war, in exchange for the rest of the world helping to eliminate any threats if it is ever invaded. As such, it is also used as a place to arbitrate conflict between other countries, with Geneva being a site of such arbitration.[1]

Divided into 26 cantons, Switzerland does not have a single unified language or official religion.[1][2] Each of the cantons uses their preferred language, with some parts like Zurich using German and others using French,[1][2] and the dominant religious culture differs between them, with some siding with the Roman Catholic Church and others obstructing them.[1] The differences between cantons allow for a useful frontline base for the Anglican Church, with Zurich being the site of one.[1][2]

Switzerland is famous not only for cheese fondue and mineral water, but also they’re known for their instant coffee and freeze-dried food. Switzerland is home to the world’s largest instant food company.[2] Switzerland is also a country of banks and famous for their secret banks. There are plenty of tax havens that offered secret banks, but the rich are said to continue to choose Switzerland because they value the tradition and stability.[2][1]

Presumably, the Zurich school of Alchemy, derived from Hermeticism, originated from Zurich.[3]

After being involved in several cases around Europe, Agnese Sanctis, Lucia and Angelene visited a bank vault in Zurich holding an Anglican remote database, in order to investigate a possible connection and unseen culprit behind those cases.[1][4] Although their initial search did not yield any results, an encounter with a spy while out for lunch led them to a reference to a 'guild' in Turin.[2][5]
