|||||||
As an haven of low taxes, political stability, order and security in the center of Europe, Switzerland has long been favored by people from all over the world who go there to escape confiscatory taxes, wars and insecurity. Many resources are available for the upper-class foreigner in Switzerland and its international travel connections are among the best in the world. Sixty percent of Switzerland's land mass is mountains, so most of the population live on the great plains north of the Alps. We have no natural resources in Switzerland, except for the beauty of the country and its hard-working, reliable and educated people. The country is small, so it is very easy to get from one part to another very quickly. Many people live in one city and commute to work in another. The wealthy in Switzerland tend to live in small, select communities where they can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the low taxes.
