Good job. What's the bit about Appenzell? I can only presume that this refers to the religiously motivated split in 1597 into Appenzell Innerrhoden (Catholic) and Appenzell Ausserrhoden (Protestant). But see [1] (in 1930, some 14% of the population of AR were Catholic; but only about 4.5% in AI were Protestant). I haven't found any current figures. Does anyone have access to the Statistisches Lexikon? (Combining the 1,200 from [2] with the 15,000 from [3], I arrive at about 8% Protestants in AI in 2006.)
