Switzerland by Language
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. (first published as
Appendix V to The Breakdown of Nation by Leopold Kohr in 1957)
