Appenzell is home to Switzerlands highest suicide rate, which says a lot for a country whose suicide statistics already run high, partly due to legalised euthanasia. Some also argue that Appenzell clings to tradition too much. Women, for example, werent given full voting rights until 1990, making it the last canton to give full suffrage. Today, Appenzell is surrounded by the canton of St Gallen, making the region a sort of double-Swiss exclave. Or in less polite terms the middle of nowhere. But its this nowhereness thats key to the music. |
