Austria

From RationalWiki

Austria is a country in Europe. The rural part of Austria is full of mountains, snow, goats and the like. Carynthia is full of lakes. Vienna is the capital of Austria, and Vienna is full of people, music, culture, coffee houses and such things. Austria is also rife with Roman Catholics.

On occasion, the U.S. Postal Service gets mail addressed to Austria mixed up with Australia, making it a dicey proposition when somebody in Austria wins your eBay auction.

Austrians speak German and have a Germanic culture but the majority don't want to be part of Germany.

Austria is occasionally the laughingstock/demon-harbinger of Europe, because they periodically elect a large proportion of right-wing racists to power. In 2008, Georg Haider's party (along with a rival right-wing party) sent a large enough delegation to parliament that the two parties could have ruled with a majority. (A few weeks later, Haider died in a car crash.)
