//Schlitteda da San Murezzan// Held once a year in January, the Schlitteda da San Murezzan winter festival is an old Swiss tradition. Residents of the ski resort town of St. Moritz don traditional folk attire and lead decorated horse-drawn sleighs, folk dancers, musicians, and other participants in a merry procession through the town's snowy streets. Also celebrated in other villages in the Engadine Valley, the event is taken very seriously by local residents, who spend much time and energy adorning the horses and sleighs with handsome decorations || USA: 97% Country:99% || at the age of 18 years while males can get married at the age of 20 years. || to a federal rebublic || President Micheline CAIMY-REY || When: From Whom: || USA: $39,676 Country:$34,000 || 1.Oil 2.Natural Gas || Imports:Germany Exports:Germany || Men:77.8 years Women:83.59 years || ,rainy/snowy winters;cool to warm,cloudy,humid summers with occasional showers || 1.hydropower potential 2.timber 3.salt || 1. 2. || water pollution from increased use of agricultural fertilizers; loss of biodeversity ||
