  • The United States of Greater Austria (German: Vereinigte Staaten von Groß-Österreich) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifteen states. The country is situated in Europe, bordered to the west by Switzerland, the Italian Social Republic and Albania, to the north by Germany and the Soviet Union, to the east by Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, and to the south by Greece. At 261,243 square miles (676,615 sq km) and with over 74.85 million people, Greater Austria is the fortieth largest country by total area, and the second largest in Europe. It is the successor to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which lasted from 1867 until its re-establishment as a federal republic in 1916. Since then, many states - e.g. Bosnia and Herzegovina, East Galicia and Transylvania - have gained greater autonomy, whilst proclaiming allegiance to the Austrian president (currently Barbara Rosenkranz) and the chancellor (currently Heinz-Christian Strache). Due to its strict neutrality during World War I, Greater Austria emerged as a great military and political power in 1917, and contributed largely to the Versailles peace talks. The Austro-Italian Pact of 1923 brought then-Chancellor Ignaz Seipel and Prime Minister Benito Mussolini into a defensive alliance; this friendship would eventually lead to the two nations fighting alongside each other in World War Two, from which Greater Austria emerged stronger than ever. Today, it is one of the richest countries in the world, with a nominal per capita GDP of $43,570. The country has developed a high standard of living, and in 2008 was ranked 14th in the world for its Human Development Index. Greater Austria has been a member of the United Nations since 1948, joined the European Union in 1995, and is a founder of the OECD. Austria also signed the Schengen Agreement in 1995, but refused to adopt the European currency, the Euro, in 1999.
