Confoederatio Helvetica (CH)  is the official Latin name of the Swiss Confederation.

Switzerland's federal state has three political levels: 

- federal government
- 26 cantons (20 full and 6 half-cantons)
- around 2,600 municipalities 

The cantons and the municipalities are largely autonomous. Every canton has its own constitution, laws, parliament and courts. This decentralised division of power and the attempt to solve issues at the lowest possible level – known as the subsidiarity principle – are the cornerstones of the Swiss Confederation.
