No, it has always been a republic.
NO
switzerland
Switzerland is a federal republic, not a monarchy, and therefore it doesn't have a royal family.
Liechtenstein a 25Km long Principality
No, Switzerland, unlike many nations, in not a constitutional monarchy. This means that there is no such thing as a prince, princess, queen or king. All the governmental power lies in the elected representatives.
from the 15th century to the 17th, a vast amount of money was borrowed by the monarchy from creditors in the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Liechtenstein is the only German speaking country with royalty. The royal family of Liechtenstein has ruled over the country for centuries.
I have paged through many pages of Switzerland's history. As near as I can tell they discontinued with the Monarchy years before World War 2. They did have a statesman or like a prime minister and a legislative body that is democratic. There were still Kings in Belgium, Sweden, The Netherlands and a few other countries but not in Switzerland.
Switzerland and the Netherlands are both democratic countries in Europe and are both approximately the same size, after that the similarities end. The Netherlands is a coastal country, Switzerland is land-locked. The Netherlands is a very flat country, much of its land is below sea and reclaimed from the sea. Switzerland is mountainous, over 50% of the country is mountains, mostly the Alps. The Netherlands is monolingual (speaks Dutch), Switzerland has 4 official languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. Different languages are spoken in different parts of the country. The Netherlands is a monarchy, Switzerland is a confederation and is a republic.
Bern is the capital of Switzerland, though not the biggest city
Absolute monarchy
The similarities between a monarchy and constitutional monarchy are that their are both monarchies.
The monarchy is collapsing. Is Monaco a duchy or monarchy? Why don't Monarch butterflies have a monarchy?
