Switzerland
Switzerland is a country in Europe, located in the Alp Mountains between Germany, France, Italy and Austria. The country's capital is Bern, although Zürich and Geneva are larger cities. It is know for having four official languages (German, French, Italian and Romansh) and having declared a state of perpetual neutrality. That has made it a good location to host international organizations, including the International Olympic Committee and the IBAF.
In baseball, the top league is the Ligue Nationale A and the Swiss national team has participated in the European Championship, but not in larger international tournaments.
