As a mountainous country with over 40 high mountains over 4,000 meters above sea level, Switzerland is a country with few natural resources but has the most significant growth rate in the world. Switzerland’s per capita GDP ranks eighth in the world’s GDP at $ 78 812,65 per person per year, while in the United Kingdom it is only 40,000.

The Swiss country has a highly developed transportation system, with dense road systems and very efficient trains. Hundreds of tunnels and high-tech bridges secured traffic for this hilly country, especially tunnels through the Alps, to shorten the route from the north to the south of Europe. Typical of the Saint Gotthard and Lotschberg tunnels, Saint Gotthard is the longest tunnel for the world’s longest car and the arterial roadway of Europe to cross the Alps. In order to protect this mountainous area from the adverse effects of over-flow, the Swiss government has restricted the flow of traffic to this area.
