Switzerland patched many aspects of the American model for the current iteration of their union
They implemented the Federal council concept from the federalist papers and I’m a big fan of it. The head of all parties is in this council, and the outward facing head of state for diplomatic purposes rotates between these members.
The office is very professional, at least according to US standards of decorum for politicians.
Other patches such as more federalism and maintaining a small national government are interesting. Pipe dreams of some fringe US sentiment, but available to play with in that sandbox. US federal government is federal in name alone, there is very little federalism left as it has the mandate to control all facets of life through the current interpretation of interstate commerce, and it merely tolerates intrastate sovereignty
