| Geneva is the second-most-populous city in Switzerland (after Zurich) and is the most populous city of Romandy, the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Situated where the Rhone exits Lake Geneva, it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva. While the municipality itself (ville de Genève) has a population (as of August 2011) of 191,803, the canton of Geneva (République et Canton de Genève, which includes the city) has 464,677 residents (as of July 2011).[3] In 2007, the urban area, or agglomération franco-valdo-genevoise (Great Geneva) had 1'240'000 · [4]. inhabitants in 189 municipalities in both Switzerland and France.[5] In 2010 there were over 470,000 people living in the 74 Swiss municipalities that make up the agglomeration.[6]
Geneva is a global city, a financial centre, and a worldwide centre for diplomacy and the most important UN international co-operation centre with New York thanks to the presence of numerous international organizations, including the headquarters of many of the agencies of the United Nations[7] and the Red Cross.[8] It is also the place where the Geneva Conventions were signed, which chiefly concern the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war.
Geneva was ranked as the world's thirteenth most important financial centre for competitiveness by the Global Financial Centres Index, ahead of Frankfurt, and third in Europe after London and Zürich.[9] and a 2009 survey by Mercer found Geneva to have the third-highest quality of life of any city in the world (narrowly outranked by Zurich).[10] The city has been referred to as the world's most compact metropolis and the "Peace Capital."[11] In 2009 and 2011, Geneva was ranked as, respectively, the fourth and fifth, most expensive city in the world.[12]

| hey! i was put into Slytherin....once.
Fair enough again, i described Abonacci as a stereotypical mobster with a cigar xD
-She still made no move to enter, not liking this woman at all.-
You're just paranoid Mer...but there's not such thing as evil...surely she must've known that...
Just let it go woman!

| Artemis: -Looks amazed- That's incredible.
Topher: Yes that's us
Camenzind: -Chuckles- Young ones, that's just a parlor trick I learned over the years... now then, what might I do for you?
Topher: Do you remember the glasses you gave me years ago?
Camenzind: Indeed I do...
Topher: They were destroyed recently... I was wondering if you had another pair? | |

| -She dropped her train of thought, it wasn't helping her. Meredia took one step into the shop, stood in the doorframe, and watched with her half-sight carefully.- | |

| Camenzind: -I smile sadly- I have only the recipe for making the potion that gave the material its protection... I never made it myself, I was given them years ago... I'm sorry but I have neither the ingredients or skills to make you another set of glasses...
Topher: But hey! Potion is skilled at Potions, maybe she can do it! | |
