Switzerland

[RamenSupernova]

I have seen Switzerland translated as "La Suisse" and "Le Suisse"..

Which is correct, the masculine or the feminine?

La Suisse.
"Le Suisse" can be used for a male inhabitant of Switzerland.

Perhaps a moderator can change the definition page to be more clear:

Switzerland:
Switzerland nm Suisse (pays)

"Une Suissesse” is also very common to designate a female person from Switzerland.
