Áustria

Áustria ), oficialmente República da Áustria , é um país de cerca de 8,9 milhões de habitantes, localizado na Europa Central. É limitada pela Alemanha e Chéquia a norte, Eslováquia e Hungria a leste, Eslovênia e Itália a sul, e Suíça e Liechtenstein a oeste. O território da Áustria abrange 83 872 quilômetros quadrados e é influenciado por um clima temperado e alpino. O terreno da Áustria é muito montanhoso, devido à presença dos Alpes; apenas 32% do país é inferior a 500 metros de altitude e seu ponto culminante chega aos 3 797 metros. A maioria da população fala alemão, que também é língua oficial do país. Outros idiomas regionais reconhecidos são croata, húngaro e esloveno.As origens da Áustria remetem-se ao tempo do Império Romano, quando o Reino Nórico, de origem celta, foi conquistado pelos romanos por volta de 15 a.C. e, mais tarde, tornou-se Nórica, uma província romana, em meados do século I d.C., em uma área que abrangia a maior parte da Áustria atual. Em 788 d.C., o rei franco Carlos Magno conquistou a área e introduziu o cristianismo. Sob a dinastia nativa dos Habsburgo, a Áustria tornou-se uma das grandes potências da Europa. Em 1867, o Império Austríaco uniu-se à Hungria, formando assim a Áustria-Hungria. O Império Austro-Húngaro desmoronou em 1918 com o fim da Primeira Guerra Mundial. Depois de estabelecer a Primeira República Austríaca, em 1919, a Áustria foi, de facto, anexada à Grande Alemanha pelo regime nazista no chamado Anschluss, em 1938. Esta união durou até o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, em 1945, quando a Áustria foi ocupada pelos Aliados. Em 1955, o Tratado do Estado Austríaco restabeleceu a Áustria como um país soberano e pôs fim a ocupação. No mesmo ano, o parlamento austríaco criou a Declaração de Neutralidade, que estabeleceu que o país se tornaria politicamente neutro. Hoje, a Áustria é uma democracia representativa parlamentar composta por nove estados federais. A capital - com uma população superior a 1,6 milhão, e maior cidade da Áustria - é Viena. A Áustria é um dos países mais ricos no mundo, com um PIB nominal per capita de 43 570 dólares. O país tem desenvolvido um alto padrão de vida e em 2008 ficou na 14ª posição no mundo no Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano . A Áustria é um membro das Nações Unidas desde 1955, aderiu à União Europeia em 1995 e é um dos fundadores da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico . Áustria também assinou o Acordo de Schengen em 1995, e adotou a moeda europeia, o euro, em 1999.
