Why Switzerland Has No Capital City



Most folks (outside of Switzerland) say that Bern is the capital of Switzerland. But it's not, really, it's just the place where federal offices are, because they have to go somewhere. Switzerland actually has no capital city, and that's okay, as there's no global rule that nations must have one. This video is only five minutes long; the rest is an ad.  (via Laughing Squid)

  2. Is the ad for chocolate ?
    I don't want to risk getting hypnotised by an ad if it is not for chocolate.
    I married a woman who father was Swiss
    but even still ... if it's not about chocolate ...
