Toplowtech posted:It depends on how deeply you define "independent" but they are fairly autonomous. They control schools, police forces, healthcare, and taxes. The communes directly run the hospitals and schools. It's more bottom-to-top than federal-top-to-bottom. The national government manages the army, monetary policies, the postal service, and the phone lines. The laws are canton-based, inside Federal constitution limits (mostly criminal law). Some cantons have direct democracy meetings where they don't count the votes of the people present, but only "feel" the opinion of the crows. It explains some of the hardest immigration laws if you ask me. How do I get in on this corvid-based system of government? It sounds cool. Edit: Well, not the racism.

You can always marry a Swiss (and same-sex marriage has been legal since 2022 by federal law through referendum) or get adopted by a Swiss parent. And yes, there is racism.

Toplowtech posted:Acquiring Swiss nationality requires a shitton of mostly residency permits, so I hope you like filling papers (also asylum doesn't count). The rest of the demands vary depending on the canton. I think all canton require a permanent residence permit first for varying durations (and being super young double your time spent) depending on the canton: between 2 years of residency without breaking the law to Goodness no, I don't want to move to Switzerland, I just want to enfranchise the crows. They're probably smarter than the average person.
