It is Switzerland. They use Confoederatio Helvetica which is why their currency is abbreviated CHF (Confoederatio Helvetica Franc) and their top level domain is .ch but I am not aware why they are called CHE on this map.

Edit: I looked it up and apparently it's their ISO country code.

Seems kinda weird to name the country after a font, but sure you do you I guess? I wonder if they have to pay royalties?

Are you trying to make a joke?

What's weird to me is the choice of the 3-letter code instead of the 2-letter one. (The one almost always used). Especially when "UK" is 2-letter.
