Basic facts people should know about Switzerland is that it was one of the poorer countries in Europe before the industrial revolution and that it come out of it by developing an "export" mentality, very much like the Japanese and the Lebanese. In the recent years, Switzerland has internationally come under the spotlights because of the communication methods of its dominant right wing party, bank secrecy policy and success in resisting the global crisis. Also, Switzerland is notorious for having dealt with the Apartheid regime until its end and having some of the biggest commodities and metal and mining companies in the world. Also, the Red Cross organization was founded in Switzerland.
