Austria Economy
Austria has a well-developed social market economy and a high standard of living. Labour movements are particularly strong in Austria and have large influence on labour politics. Germany has historically been the main trading partner of Austria, making it vulnerable to rapid changes in the German economy. Austria's tourism, both winter and summer tourism is significant making it the 10th most visited country in the world with over 18,2 million tourists in 2001.

Austria Politics
Austria became a member of the European Union in 1995, but it retained its strict constitutional neutrality and forbade the stationing of foreign troops on its soil. The head of state is the Federal President, who is directly elected. In January 2007 the People's Party and Social Democrats formed a Grand Coalition with the social democrat Alfred Gusenbauer as Chancellor.

Austria Culture
Vienna has long been an important center of musical innovation. The influence remains from the composers of the 18th and 19th centuries such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johann Strauss, Jr., who were associated with the city. During the Baroque period, Slavic and Hungarian folk forms influenced Austrian music. The Vienna Secession was part of a varied art movement around 1900 that is now covered by the general term Art Nouveau. Major artists were Otto Wagner, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Koloman Moser.
