Metroji clue #78

Geneva in five emoji

Switzerland

French-speaking, internationally governed in parts, and almost surrounded by France. Small for a city with this many headquarters in it.

What each emoji refers to

Calvin banned jewellery, so the city's goldsmiths moved into watchmaking.
The UN's European office and the founding of the Red Cross are both here.
The Jet d'Eau throws water 140 metres and started as a pressure release valve.
Private banking, and the secrecy laws that went with it until recently.
Mont Blanc is visible on a clear day, although it is in France.
