Which country is CHE?
Well, that's where Switzerland is, but I have no idea why it's labeled CHE.
It comes from the Latin name for Switzerland; Confoederatio Helvetica
it's just weird to see the E on the end for me, i'm used to switzerland simply being CH
They went for the alpha-3 codes on this map instead of alpha-2. In theory they're clearer, but in Europe most people are used to the alpha-2 codes.
Looks like the 3-letters version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes
