"How does it actually operate"

Very slowly is the answer that any Swiss person will give

[RapinatorOhYeah]

It still made me laugh whenever I play Switzerland on HOI4 and I'm headed by a f*cking building 😂

[iron]

This basically ensures that each region isn’t neglected and is constantly maintained and developing

[romainsavioz]

The landsgemeinde only happens in Glaris and Appenzell rhodes interior
Switzerland is actually a semi direct democracy

[MindSwipe]

Just a heads up, the correct translation of "Gemeinde" isn't "Commune", it's "Municipality".

I see this mistake made by tons of people, even lots of native Swiss. I blame Google/ DeepL/ other automatic translation services.

[oliverriall]

Having lived there I can confirm constant complaining about politics is exactly the same as in every other country, i.e. it's made them no happier!

[savageantelope]

I haven’t been to Switzerland but this sounds really good

[JustAboutToEat]

The most democratic democracy on the planet

[rainbowappleslice]

Switzerland is 100% on my wish list to visit

[Steven-lyei]

Britain would benefit from a system like this. Maybe less of our taxes can be syphoned off to london away from our hone regions :)

[Mr-DNA_]

Switzerland has perhaps the best political system in history.

[notyoutube]

Basicly Veimar Republic, but is actually worked. Very nice

[wolfpack]

Love their system, especially their gun laws

[richardyong]

Swiss direct democracy, where the people vote on policy instead of politicians

[mitchiesdiaryy]

WHAT WHO HURT U?
SHHH BY KOL IS A SMASH 😭

[gehteuchnixan]

Switzerland is the only full democracy for me.

[chieftainmk_]

Could you cover the holy see/vatican?

[idkimlikereallybored]

the initiatives are not only for constitutional changes, but any law at any level

[TheGogeta]

Zhenonly system i accept as true democracy

[rezaganjizadeh]

First among equals. I wonder wether this was inspired by the kingdom of germany before otto the great took the throne
