The majority of Austria consists of mountain ranges that form part of the Eastern Alps. Lower areas outside the Alps are to the north and east. The river network is dense with rivers such as the Danube, which crosses the northern part of the country. Austria has a humid, continental climate.

Austria is a federal republic. The head of state is a six-year elected president of the union. At the federal level, the legislative power is held by a two-chamber parliament, where the members of the National Council are elected for five years. The members of the Federal Council are elected by the nine state parliaments for the same term of office that applies to themselves.

In recent decades, the country’s economy has developed strongly and is characterized by a negative trade balance, a positive balance of services as well as large tourism income and foreign investment. Especially German companies, but also many companies from other countries in Western Europe, have long been established, and in recent times not least US and Japanese investments have increased. The industry consists predominantly of medium-sized family controlled companies.
