If I got the question right... Switzerland has 26 states. Or let's say 20 full-states and 3 half-states (with 2 parts each). And the states are called cantons. Some city names are also used for their state (as they are something like the capital of the corresponding states...) Cities:
Basel (or Basle), name of half-states - canton Basel city, canton Basel countryside Berne (capital), full-state - canton Berne
Zurich (biggest city), full-state - canton Zurich
Solothurn, full-state - canton Solothurn
Geneva, full-state - canton Geneva
Saint Gall (or better Sankt Gallen), full-state - canton Saint Gall
Lucerne, full and cofounder state - canton Lucerne
Neuchatel, full-state - was longterm ruled by Preussen (Germany), adhesion to Switzerland nearly provoked war.
That should be all... There's one left, but the name of the canton capital is Aarau, the canton is called Aargau, not to be confused.
