Austria
Vienna's landlocked nation
Austria is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and several other nations.
Once the seat of the Habsburg Empire and later joined with Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria became an independent republic after World War I.
Vienna is its capital.
