because they were in the middle of a war but we're never attacked and many believe it was because they is where hitler and other high people kept their money. which is true.

so they have a really powerful banking industry for over 200 years!

It was, until 9/11, known for absolute secrecy. The Swiss would not divulge to any government the holders of any accounts. In fact, to open an account you didn't need ID...

Now, since 9/11, it is much less secret in Switzerland. There are other places to go...but the world is a more transparent place cause of 9/11.

Because they have very strict privacy laws so you can hide money there.

It was known for not keeping track of whose bank account was whose. A dictator could deposit money into a Swiss bank account and nobody but the dictator would know which bank account that was. Since terrorists and criminals could be using the Swiss banking system, they have decided to make the accounts easier to trace.

in swissland there is more money per people per capita.

Lichtenstien, though I probably spelled it wrong. They are popular because of their favorable terms, and their stability and ability to stay out of wars and conflict.

switzerland is geographically situated to take advantage of trade routes and always has done so. lichtenstein(as mentioned) luxembourg, andorra, gibraltar(a uk crown dependancy), isle of man, jersey, guernsey, malta and cyprus have all been or are still involved in banking. EU law as of 2001 has requirede stricter controls on the banking industry and cracking down of laundered money. further afield, the cayman islands have encouraged banking business by infrastructure, low taxes and skilled workforces.
