Switzerland is located in Central Europe, with Germany to the north, Austria to the east, Italy to the south, and France to the west. It covers an area almost twice the size of New Jersey. Mountains (the Alps in the south and Jura in the northwest) form the majority of the terrain with a central plateau of rolling hills, plains, and large lakes. The climate is temperate but varies with altitude. It has cold, cloudy, rainy, snowy winters and cool, humid summers. Natural resources include timber, salt and hydropower potential.

Switzerland is a prosperous and stable modern market economy with low unemployment, a highly skilled labor force, and a per capita GDP larger than that of the big western European economies. The Swiss in recent years have brought their economic practices largely into conformity with the EU's to compete internationally. Switzerland remains a safe haven for investors, because it has maintained a degree of bank secrecy and has kept up the franc's long-term external value. Reflecting the anemic economic conditions of Europe, GDP growth dropped in 2001 to about 0.8% and to about 0% in 2002, although unemployment in Switzerland remained at about half that of other European nations. Switzerland's GDP is comprised of: agriculture (2%), industry (34%), and services (64%).
