	Switzerland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swiss Confederation or Switzerland (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica) is a landlocked federal republic in Europe, bordering Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.
		However, Swiss law is gradually being adjusted to that of the EU and the government has signed a number of bilateral agreements with the European Union.
		On June 5, 2005, Swiss voters agreed, by a 55% majority, to join the Schengen treaty, a result that was welcomed by EU commentators as a sign of goodwill by a Switzerland that is traditionally perceived as isolationist.

		Swiss chocolate is the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate craving, to treat yourself or someone else.
		While the Swiss were not the first Europeans to manufacture chocolate, they were the people who mastered the art and transformed chocolate into the divine confection it is today.
		Compare a Swiss chocolate bar with an ordinary supermarket variety and you'll discover a difference as marked as that between the pristine, snow-covered Alps and a little grassy knoll.

	Swiss Convention
		The Swiss Convention requires a response of Four in a Minor suit to an Opening of One in a Major suit, and shows a Standard Forcing Raise to the Three Level.
		Using the Swiss convention, the responder shows 4-card support for the opening of a Major suit, and also a rather semi-balanced hand, because the responder would otherwise bid a side suit and then raise to game on the second round.
		There are, of course, several variations, modifications or refinements to the Swiss convention since it does mess up the bidding by the opponents quite effectively.
