What is CHE stand for? And I'm assuming that is Switzerland?
It is Switzerland. They use Confoederatio Helvetica which is why their currency is abbreviated CHF (Confoederatio Helvetica Franc) and their top level domain is .ch but I am not aware why they are called CHE on this map.
Edit: I looked it up and apparently it's their ISO country code.
Seems kinda weird to name the country after a font, but sure you do you I guess? I wonder if they have to pay royalties?
Are you trying to make a joke?
Yes
Confoederatio HElvetica
It comes from the Latin word for Switzerland (or at least what was there back then).
