Is Switzerland a monoculture?

Is Switzerland functionally a monoculture?

No. It contains several linguistic communities and religious divisions, and its mountains have helped separate groups within the shared political system.

Switzerland contains German, French, Italian and Romansh communities, as well as Catholic and Protestant divisions. Its political history is traced here to towns resisting control by the Holy Roman Empire. Their shared opposition did not erase their differences. Mountain barriers helped separate communities while they participated in a common political system.
