Unsuccessful Federation

Were Switzerland organized on national lines as shown on this map, German Switzerland would outweigh the others 2 to 1.
French, Italian, Romansch would be minorities.
By cutting the unequal national blocks into numerous small states,
every nationality has its own or several states, and is thus never a minority.
