		Appenzell Inner Rhoden, with a population of only around 15,000, is the last canton in Switzerland that still observes Landsgemeinde (pronounced lands-ga-mine-da) now that its sister canton, Appenzell Outer Rhoden, abolished it several years ago.

		Hotels, especially those overlooking the town square, were so packed on April 25 that guests were required to share their rooms with as many as 15 others.
