Question: How did a federal union rank the economy of Monte Rosa Hotel's country?

<P0-S0> Until recently, in the absence of prior agreement on a clear and precise definition, the concept was thought to mean (as a shorthand) 'a division of sovereignty between two levels of government'. <P0-S1> New research, however, argues that this cannot be correct, as dividing sovereignty - when this concept is properly understood in its core meaning of the final and absolute source of political authority in a political community - is not possible. <P0-S2> The descent of the United States into Civil War in the mid-nineteenth century, over disputes about unallocated competences concerning slavery and ultimately the right of secession, showed this. <P0-S3> One or other level of government could be sovereign to decide such matters, but not both simultaneously. <P0-S4> Therefore, it is now suggested that federalism is more appropriately conceived as 'a division of the powers flowing from sovereignty between two levels of government'. <P0-S5> What differentiates the concept from other multi-level political forms is the characteristic of equality of standing between the two levels of government established. <P0-S6> This clarified definition opens the way to identifying two distinct federal forms, where before only one was known, based upon whether sovereignty resides in the whole (in one people) or in the parts (in many peoples): the federal state (or federation) and the federal union of states (or federal union), respectively. <P0-S7> Leading examples of the federal state include the United States, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Australia and India. <P0-S8> The leading example of the federal union of states is the European Union. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Monte Rosa is a hotel, located in the main street of Zermatt. <P1-S1> It was frequented by the members of the Alpine Club, including Edward Whymper who made the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. <P1-S2> The hotel is named after the highest mountain near Zermatt, Monte Rosa. <SEP> <P2-S0> economic liberalisation, begun in 1991, has caused india to become a fast growing major economy and a newly industrialised country. <P2-S1> its gross domestic product ranks sixth in the world in market exchange rates and third in purchasing power parity. <P2-S2> its per capita income ranks 133rd and 116th in the two measures. <P2-S3> india faces challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, and inadequate public healthcare. <P2-S4> a nuclear weapons state and regional power, it has the second largest active military in the world and ranks high in military expenditure. <P2-S5> india is a secular, federal republic, governed in a democratic parliamentary system, and administered in 29 states and seven union territories. <P2-S6> a pluralistic, multilingual and multi-ethnic society, india is home to 1.3 billion people. <P2-S7> it is also home to a high diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. <SEP> <P3-S0> missouri and kentucky were represented by partisan factions adopting the forms of state governments without control of substantial territory or population in either case. <P3-S1> the antebellum state governments in both maintained their representation in the union. <P3-S2> also fighting for the confederacy were two of the ``five civilized tribes ''-- the choctaw and the chickasaw -- in indian territory and a new, but uncontrolled, confederate territory of arizona. <P3-S3> efforts by certain factions in maryland to secede were halted by federal imposition of martial law; delaware, though of divided loyalty, did not attempt it. <P3-S4> a unionist government was formed in opposition to the secessionist state government in richmond and administered the western parts of virginia that had been occupied by federal troops. <P3-S5> the restored government later recognized the new state of west virginia, which was admitted to the union during the war on june 20, 1863, and re-located to alexandria for the rest of the war. <SEP> <P4-S0> The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report currently ranks Switzerland's economy as the most competitive in the world, while ranked by the European Union as Europe's most innovative country. <P4-S1> For much of the 20th century, Switzerland was the wealthiest country in Europe by a considerable margin (by GDP – per capita). <P4-S2> In 2007 the gross median household income in Switzerland was an estimated 137,094 USD at Purchasing power parity while the median income was 95,824 USD. <P4-S3> Switzerland also has one of the world's largest account balances as a percentage of GDP. <SEP> <P5-S0> Some high mountain villages, such as Avoriaz (in France), Wengen, and Zermatt (in Switzerland) are accessible only by cable car or cog-rail trains, and are car free. <P5-S1> Other villages in the Alps are considering becoming car free zones or limiting the number of cars for reasons of sustainability of the fragile Alpine terrain.
