Cantons of Switzerland

Okay, imagine Switzerland is like a big house with lots of rooms. Each of the 26 rooms in the house is called a "canton." And just like how people in a big family have different jobs and responsibilities, each canton in Switzerland has its own government and is responsible for making its own rules and laws. But, just like how the family comes together for meals and special occasions, all the cantons also work together as part of the overall Swiss government. Think of it like a big puzzle where each canton is important and fits together to make Switzerland a great place to live!
