Wikimedia in Switzerland has choosen "CH" not because it is the country
code but "Confoerderatio Helvetica" is the official name of the country
and is neutral concerning the four official languages. "Wikimedia
Switzerland" wouldn't be appropriate because English is not an official
language in Switzerland and all the other possibilities "Schweiz",
"Suisse", "Svizzera" or "Svizra" would only represent a part of the
swiss community. So "CH" for "Confoerderatio Helvetica" was an elegant
way out. That's why we are so picky in correcting people when they say
"Wikimedia Switzerland".
