Federal Administration Of Switzerland
The federal administration of Switzerland (german: Bundesverwaltung, french: Administration fédérale, it, Amministrazione federale, rm, Administraziun federala) is the ensemble of agencies that constitute, together with the Swiss Federal Council, the executive branch of the Swiss federal authorities. The administration is charged with executing federal law and preparing draft laws and policy for the Federal Council and the Federal Assembly.

Each department consists of several federal offices, which are headed by a director, and of other agencies.

Dogana CH Oria Valsolda - Gandria (Versante CH)
Dogana is a town and a civil parish (''curazia''), whose name means "Customs House"; it is located in the north-eastern corner of San Marino in the Serravalle municipality ("castello"). The town is the most populated settlement in the republic. Geography The town is situated at the northernmost point of San Marino after Falciano, close to the border with Italy (at Cerasolo Ausa, a ''frazione'' of Coriano, in the province of Rimini). History It has a population of roughly 7,000. Due to its size, in 2006 it asked to split away from Serravalle and become its own ''castello'', but in 2007 the proposal was refused.

Economy Dogana is the main entry point for travellers arriving into San Marino from Italy (by freeway no. 72 from Rimini). Although ''Dogana'' means ''customs house'' in Italian, there are no border formalities anywhere on the border be ...
