Switzerland is a confederation of 26 semi-independent cantons. A canton is equivalent to what is called a state in English-speaking federal countries.

It is impossible to say how many cities are in Switzerland, because in both French and German the same word is used for the English words 'town' and 'city'. It is personal opinion what is a town and what is a city.
