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

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.
