'''Switzerland''' is a [[Europe|European]] ''Smash'' region that encompasses the country of the same name. It borders [[France]] to the west, [[Austria]] and [[Liechtenstein]] to the east, [[Germany]] to the North and [[Italy]] to the South. Switzerland has four national languages, with French being primarily spoken in the western cantons, German being primarily spoken in the cantons located in the central, northern, and eastern parts of the country, Italian being spoken in the South, and Romansch, the least populous national language, being spoken in the East. To some degree, the scenes can be divided into these regions, although cross-play is relatively frequent. Tournaments have also been hosted in all regions of the country; however, the largest events tend to be hosted in the German and French-speaking portions. | '''Switzerland''' is a [[Europe|European]] ''Smash'' region that encompasses the country of the same name.
