AUSTRIA - THE FACTS

Austria is a very small country but it has buying power. 

A federal republic, Austria is divided into nine states (German: 'Bundesländer' ). These states are then divided into districts (Bezirke) and cities (Statutarstädte). Districts are subdivided into municipalities (Gemeinden). Cities have the competencies otherwise granted to both districts and municipalities. The states are not mere administrative divisions but have some distinct legislative authority separate from the federal government.
