		(Obwalden has I83~2 and Nidwalden 112I, though it must be borne in mind that the upper portion of what should be the territory of Nidwalden is, as regards the Blacken Alp, in Un, while the Engelberg region is in Obwalden).
		The capital of Obwalden is Sarnen (q.v), and of Nidwalden Stans (q.v.).
		Obwalden submitted at an early date, but Nidwalden, refusing to accept the oath of fidelity to the constitution mainly on religious grounds, rose in desperate revolt (September 1798), and was only put down by the arrival of 16,000 armed men and by the storming of Stans.

	Will Obwalden become a rags-to-riches story? (eng, NZZ Online)
		Obwalden has just lowered its taxes to attract wealthy incomers, but is still coming to terms with its impoverished past.
		It tells the story of crop failure, famine and soup kitchens and portrays Obwalden émigrés who settled in Imperial Valley in California and other parts of the United States, Canada and Brazil, having taken part in the mass exodus at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
		The idea that Obwalden could one day attract wealthy individuals and corporations is at odds with the reality that the Swiss canton once had the highest percentage of emigration per capita after Italian-speaking Ticino.
