I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many cantons are in Switzerland's federal directorial republic?
All the background I'm provided with is that "While still named the "Swiss Confederation" for historical reasons, modern Switzerland is a federal directorial republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities, called Bundesstadt ("federal city").[note 3]". Is that enough to answer the question?
