* Official Long Name: The official name of the country is The Swiss Confederation. This is rarely used in everyday speech.
* Common Short Name: The most common short name is simply Switzerland. This is used both formally and informally.
There are other less common variations:
* Helvetia: This is the Latin name for Switzerland and is sometimes used in a formal or poetic context.
* Schweiz: This is the German name for Switzerland, commonly used within Switzerland itself.
So, while there isn't a distinct "short name" form, Switzerland is the standard and most widely used name for the country.
