The prized capital of Switzerland rests on a plateau north of the Alps, where it represents one of the oldest surviving confederacies in the world. The city demonstrates an interesting blend of some French and mostly German culture, having been a previous territory of the Holy Roman Empire and Revolutionary France.

Today, the Swiss capital rejoices in its isolated independence. The city hosted socialist Internationals during World War I and saw frequent mediation and espionage between the Allied and Axis powers during World War II. Despite the heavy German influence felt in Bern, Swiss forces are always fiercely committed to maintaining everlasting independence in this time of global turmoil.
