Switzerland, the bunker capital of the world!
A subject that arouses the curiosity of many people!
Maybe it wasn't the country we were all expecting, but it's true. Switzerland is the country with the most bunkers in the world!
It all started when Switzerland took the threat of nuclear attack during the Cold War seriously. In 1963, it launched an initiative to provide accommodation in anti-nuclear bunkers for every one of its citizens in the event of an atomic attack.
Now everybody thinks, OK! But it was many years ago, let's find out how it is today?
"Every inhabitant must have a shelter that can be accessed quickly from their place of residence."
"Owners of apartment buildings are required to build and install shelters in all new dwellings."
And the question that remains: What are the numbers?
Switzerland is the only country in the world with nuclear shelters capable of accommodating its entire population, should one day it become necessary. And we never know when that might happen.
World Champions!
If building atomic shelters were an Olympic event, Switzerland would surely win the gold medal.
The closest competitors are Sweden and Finland. With modest silver and bronze medals in this "competition".
