Austria

History
Austria was first conceived when the nation of Germany split into two, these being Germany and Austria. Austria saw slow growth in it's early days, and was relatively small, being confined primarily to it's founder owl_ibis.

One of the most influential forces on Austria was the alliance and later integration of Hojavida, the nation that belonged to axlin_kay. This event was so important because Hojavida (called Spain in the past) had developed a reputation for being incredibly wealthy. This, along with the immense building skills of axlin_kay, found their way to the young Austria.

The nation, however, still remained quite small. Although this would change drastically on the current and final map used by Peak, as many new players made their way to the nation. Some of the most influential players include austinzhu, xomoxoax, and Mariogoku. This combined force of politically-experienced founders and new, ambitious members paved the way for the modern global superpower of Austria.

Landscape
Austria is centered around the Austrian Capital Castle, which is surrounded by a loosely-defined array of walls along with stray but unique builds, some following the medieval theme.

The biome geography of Austria is quite unique. The heart of the nation is in a small forest biome, while the rest is upon a snowy tundra that surrounds it.

Politics
The political system of Austria is quite complex although not clearly defined. The founders owl_ibis and axlin_kay communicate the majority of political matters, although every member has an equal say.
