If I'm correct, .ch is the shortened form of Confoederatio Helvetica (Confederation Helvetica), or the Latin version of the Swiss Confederation.

Can somene explain how Freedom Tower and the Shard are similar!? Beyond both being ehhh towers. Canary Wharf (or whatever it's called now) is also a tower. As is the Gherkin, and the BT tower. Yet the answer is the Shard?

Helvetia is the female personification of Switzerland. (sort of like Marianne is for France) You see it on all of their coins. So Switzerland is the Confederatio Helvetica.

Helvetia was the Latin name for the region and its people. Kind of like Lusitania for Portugal (which is how we get Lusophone) or Hibernia for Ireland

The official name of Switzerland is Swiss Confederation, but in four different languages. For neutrality Latin is often used instead, most notably for 2-letter country code (.ch, CHF is Swiss franc etc) and car registration. Also on coins, while on the banknotes there's enough space for all 4 languages.

I mixed up Aoraki and Aotearoa and though Aoraki was what the indigenous people called New Zealand. Was trying to think of what the Native Americans called the US. 18/22

I am not trying to open a political can of worms here, but shouldn't Mount McKinley be the default answer now?
+1
Level 58
Apr 17, 2025
well no- Aoraki is what the natives have always called it, and colonials called it Mt Cook. The analogy works as "native names for the tallest mountain", not "what the government wants us to call them". And I am not calling it that whack name
