New Switzerland

__NOTOC__
New Switzerland is a planet in the Porrima system. It is controlled by the Republic.
== Description ==
New Switzerland is a world where tectonic activity has left deeply folded and fractured mountains across much of the planet's surface.
In many places, the topsoil is too thin and rocky to support farming, but many people have settled here anyway, drawn to the beauty of the mountains. A few ski resorts operate in the mountains, and in recent years a gemstone mining industry has begun to develop as well.
== Spaceport ==
The spaceport is in a valley, surrounded by mountains so high that their tops are often lost in the clouds. From the port town, tourists can ride a cog railway to the tops of several of the tallest mountains nearby.
Most of the buildings in town are wood framed, and some are old fashioned half-timber buildings with whitewashed plaster packed in between the beams. It is not a technologically advanced world, but it is a very beautiful place.
