Political allegiance and patriotism was directed towards the <a href="/wiki/Cantons_of_Switzerland" title="Cantons of Switzerland">cantons</a>, not the federal level, where a spirit of rivalry and competition rather than unity prevailed. <a href="/wiki/C._G._Jung" class="mw-redirect" title="C. G. Jung">C. G. Jung</a> advanced the view that this system of social order was one of a "chronic state of mitigated civil war" which put Switzerland ahead of the world in a civilizatory process of "introverting" warlike aggression.<a href="#cite_note-20">[18]</a> A similar view is attributed to <a href="/wiki/Gottfried_Keller" title="Gottfried Keller">Gottfried Keller</a>, who is cited to the effect that the Swiss Confederacy could not exist without the endemic rivalry between cantons.<a href="#cite_note-21">[19]</a> From the 19th century onwards, there were conscious attempts to foster a federal "Pan-Swiss" <a href="/wiki/National_identity" title="National identity">national identity</a> that would replace or alleviate the cantonal patriotisms. Among the traditions enlisted to this end were federal <a href="/wiki/Sch%C3%BCtzenfest" title="Schützenfest">sharpshooting competitions</a>, or tirs. These competitions were one of the few recognized symbols of pan-Swiss identity prior to the creation of the <a href="/wiki/Restauration_(Switzerland)" class="mw-redirect" title="Restauration (Switzerland)">1815 Confederation</a> and traditionally involved men from all levels of society, including the peasants, who in <a href="/wiki/Romantic_nationalism" title="Romantic nationalism">Romantic nationalism</a> had become ideologically synonymous with liberty and nationhood.<a href="#cite_note-22">[20]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Swiss_national_holiday" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss national holiday">Swiss national holiday</a>, introduced in 1889, was another symbol of national identity at the federal level. The bonfires associated with the national holiday have become so customary since then that they have displaced the <a href="/wiki/Funken" class="mw-redirect" title="Funken">Funken</a> traditions of greater antiquity. Identification with the national symbolism relating to the Old Swiss Confederacy was especially difficult for the cantons which had been joined to the <a href="/wiki/Helvetic_Republic" title="Helvetic Republic">Helvetic Republic</a> in 1798 without any prior membership in the Swiss Confederacy, and which were given the status of Swiss cantons only after the end of the Napoleonic era.

Similarly, due to the historical imperialism of the <a href="/wiki/Canton_of_Bern" title="Canton of Bern">canton of Bern</a>, there is considerable irredentism within the Bernese lands, most visibly <a href="/wiki/Jura_separatism" title="Jura separatism">in the Bernese Jura</a> but to a lesser extent also in parts of the <a href="/wiki/Bernese_Oberland" title="Bernese Oberland">Bernese Oberland</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Haslital" class="mw-redirect" title="Haslital">Hasli</a>. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><h2 id="Citizenship_and_naturalization">Citizenship and naturalization</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Swiss_people&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Citizenship and naturalization" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Swiss_nationality_law" title="Swiss nationality law">Swiss nationality law</a>, <a href="/wiki/Swiss_passport" title="Swiss passport">Swiss passport</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Federal_Constitution" title="Swiss Federal Constitution">Swiss Federal Constitution</a></div> Swiss citizenship is still primarily citizenship in one of the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_cantons" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss cantons">Swiss cantons</a>, and the naturalization of foreign citizens is the privilege of the cantons. No <a href="/wiki/Swiss_passport" title="Swiss passport">Swiss passports</a> were issued prior to 1915, more than 60 years after the establishment of the modern Swiss Confederation. Prior to 1915, citizens held passports issued by their cantons, the Confederation being considered as a federation of the cantons, not a state composed of <a href="/wiki/Natural_person" title="Natural person">natural persons</a> as its citizens. The <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss Constitution">Swiss Constitution</a> of 1848 regulated certain rights that the cantons were required to grant to citizens of other cantons, such as the right of residence (in the case of naturalized citizens after a period of five years).<a href="#cite_note-23">[21]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss Constitution">Swiss Constitution</a> of 1874, which remained in force (with revisions) until 1999, defined Swiss citizenship as inherited from cantonal citizenship: Jeder Kantonsbürger ist Schweizer Bürger ("every citizen of a canton is a Swiss citizen").<a href="#cite_note-24">[22]</a> In the preamble to the current <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Constitution" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss Constitution">Swiss Constitution</a> of 1999, a "Swiss People" (Schweizervolk) is invoked alongsides "the Cantons" as sovereign entity, and article 1 reads "The People and the Cantons [...] form the Swiss Confederation." Article 37 still defines Swiss citizenship as inherited from communal and cantonal citizenship: "Any person who is a citizen of a commune and of the Canton to which that commune belongs is a Swiss citizen."<a href="#cite_note-25">[23]</a> As Swiss citizenship is entirely based on <a href="/wiki/Jus_sanguinis" title="Jus sanguinis">jus sanguinis</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Place_of_origin" title="Place of origin">place of origin</a> rather than the <a href="/wiki/Place_of_birth" title="Place of birth">place of birth</a> is recorded in identity documents. As Swiss citizenship is tied to the cantonal citizenship associated with the "place of origin" (Heimatort or Bürgerort "home commune, commune of citizenship"), a citizen's place of origin is inherited from his or her father (from the mother if born out of wedlock or if the father holds no citizenship). The significance of the place of origin outside of the naturalization procedure has been gradually abolished in the early 21st century. Since 2012, the municipality or canton of a citizen's place of origin is no longer responsible for providing <a href="/wiki/Social_welfare" class="mw-redirect" title="Social welfare">social welfare</a> to that citizen.<a href="#cite_note-26">[24]</a> Since 2013, a woman no longer acquires the place of origin of her husband upon marriage.<a href="#cite_note-27">[25]</a> While the cantons are responsible for naturalization, federal <a href="/wiki/Swiss_nationality_law" title="Swiss nationality law">Swiss nationality law</a> regulates minimal requirements necessary for naturalization. These requirements were significantly reduced in a 2018 revision of the law, allowing naturalization after a minimal period of residence of ten years, and in certain cases as little as five years (naturalization of spouses and children of Swiss citizens; years of residence at ages 8 to 18 count double). A further requirement is that the applicant be "well integrated" and "familiar with life in Switzerland", and must have both oral and written competence in one of the national languages of Switzerland.<a href="#cite_note-28">[26]</a> The federal law just specifies minimal requirements for naturalization, and cantons are free to introduce more stringent requirements.<a href="#cite_note-29">[27]</a> In practice, the cantons delegate the actual procedure of naturalization to the <a href="/wiki/Municipalities_of_Switzerland" title="Municipalities of Switzerland">communes</a>. With 25% of the population resident aliens, Switzerland has one of the highest ratios of non-naturalized inhabitants in Europe (comparable to <a href="/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Netherlands" title="Demographics of the Netherlands">the Netherlands</a>; roughly twice the ratio of <a href="/wiki/Demographics_of_Germany" title="Demographics of Germany">Germany</a>). In 2003, 35,424 residents were naturalized, a number exceeding net population growth. Over the 25-year period of 1983 to 2007, 479,264 resident foreigners were naturalized, yearly numbers rising gradually from below 10,000 (0.1%) in the 1980s to above 40,000 (0.6%) in the 2000s.<a href="#cite_note-30">[28]</a> Compare the figure of 0.2% (140,795) in the United Kingdom (2004).<a href="#cite_note-31">[29]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><h2 id="Genetics">Genetics</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Swiss_people&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Genetics" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Genetic_history_of_Europe" title="Genetic history of Europe">Genetic history of Europe</a> and <a href="/wiki/Y-DNA_haplogroups_in_populations_of_Europe" title="Y-DNA haplogroups in populations of Europe">Y-DNA haplogroups in populations of Europe</a></div> The genetic composition of the Swiss population is similar to that of <a href="/wiki/Central_Europe" title="Central Europe">Central Europe</a> in general.
