Zurich
While Switzerland's largest city placed well below the others in economic and political power rankings, it earned the top spot for standard of living. Indeed, Zurich routinely ranks high in this regard, placing second in Mercer's 2012 survey of places with the best quality of life (just behind Vienna). Home to many "Swiss banks," Zurich has earned a reputation as a tax haven and hosts the global headquarters for several major global banks including USB and Credit Suisse. (Wikipedia)
