The knowledge test is known to be very difficult as the questions are random and can be extremely localized down to a specific village (Food, flag, etc). They don't mind a few mistakes but what they want to see mainly is your interest in swiss culture and your general knowledge of the country's heritage. A lot of people fail it because they think it's just a general knowledge test where they have to know city names and dates but it goes way deeper in terms of knowledge. That makes the swiss citizenship one of the hardest citizenships to get and people who do get it usually lived there way longer than 10 years.

If you move to another canton, especially from a german canton to a french one, very high chance you will need to do the 10 year minimum stay all over again.

In Zug: In the Canton of Zug, of the 12 years spent in Switzerland, 5 have to have been spent in the canton and 3 in the same municipality, with no periods of interruption.  Last edited: Jan 17, 2023

Welcome to pedantic Swiss mentality. If you didn't mention the country and asked me to guess where this happened I would have guessed Switzerland...lol.  Toggle signaturePlease note my posts should not be taken as financial or tax advice. Please seek professional advice in that respect.
 
A couple of years ago there was the cowbell lady. She got denied as well but got it in the end. Even Switzerland cannot deny you even if they want to. This guy needs to go to court and will then get it. The question is more one of how far he wants to go. There is also an immigrant example from Basel. They got denied because they were jogging pants in their free time. Via court they appealed and did get everything sorted.

"9. In some cantons it is forbidden for men to have a wee standing up after 10pm. The reasoning? It creates too much noise."

Btw I get fined for speeding every single time I go to the UAE, whereas in Monaco they fine you even if you press the accelerator down while in neutral.
Italy is quite good for driving fast if you have a foreign plate and dl.

Martin Everson said:Speechless Click to expand...Many US states are now allowing turning human bodies into fertilizer.
Canadian law now allows a doctor to tell you to kill yourself through the assisted suicide program just because you have depression or some vague psychological symptoms.

I think we're moving into an era where offing yourself will become a very easy option in order to reduce unwanted population (Those who need public services the most). Imagine paying taxes all your life just so the government can come up with imaginative ways to get rid of you the moment you need the services you paid for all your life lmao.

Well the Swiss will lead the pack. I wonder why people want to kill themselves in such a "good country".

P.S I personally knew a Swiss mother of 3 and another Swiss father of 5 who lived in Switzerland and both committed suicide there . There is something strange about Swiss culture especially in German speaking Switzerland. I just cant put my finger on what it is. The guy that got denied a Swiss passport for speeding is probably better off in end without it.  Toggle signaturePlease note my posts should not be taken as financial or tax advice.

When money is no longer an issue, people start to learn about their true selves and they don’t like what they discover.

The culture of condescending dickhead that always make a fuss about everything is hardcore there. I saw people complaining/calling administration/filing complaints because the train was 3-5 minutes late lol

They tend to be very rigid and difficult to work with, germans themselves weren't like this. The deeper you get into the cantons like St Gallen for example and the weirder and more awkward people get. As far as suicides go, like GPT pointed out, when you're rich and you're past clubbing, going to restaurants, travelling, living the high life, people tend to get very depressed and things simply go downhill from there. Drugs, depression, often take the lead and without proper psychological counselling people just off themselves. It's common among rich circles, not just in switzerland. People often get bored out of their minds when they're sitting on millions and have fuckall motivation to do anything. Those who own businesses/companies fare better because they have an occupation still, but the folks who are in early retirement usually go crazy long before retirement age.

- You make millions and you're happy, start enjoying life, drop all occupations, you just live it up for a few years
- Soon you decide to settle down, marry a hot model girl you always dreamed of since you can afford it now
- Life gets boring slowly as you discovered everything about that "other side" you always dreamed of
- Turns out even your wife is a whore who married you for your money and has been cheating on you with the plumber
- Your kids are spoiled shitheads who hate you and already dreaming of leaving the family household (with your money of course)
- You start dwelling on the past, mistakes, etc, get depressed because you feel like there's nothing more to life, you got it all yet you're not satisfied with this new routine
- You start taking drugs, drinking booze and thinking of what you could have done differently
- Depression gets worse, and no one around you gives a s**t (Especially in a family full of superficial cunts)
- Your family finds you hanging in the garage
- The end
