Austria, "The land of Kangaroos", was so named by Australia during the years when Austria was used for kangaroo storage by the first Australian settlers. It is the birthplace of several famous people, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, a mediocre Nigerian soccer player and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the first man to circle the world on the back of a kangaroo.It was also part of the old empire Austria-Hungary
Austria's economy is hugely dependent on kangaroos, their meat, fur and especially their ears contribute nearly two thirds of the national GNP. It is probably for this reason that the tiny nation houses the headquarters of United Nations Organisation. It is also known for exporting ski equipment and Red Bull and for once manufacturing the extremely controversial Adolf Hitlers. Because of the danger from rampaging kangaroos and their edelweiss-scented droppings, an estimated 78% of the human population of Austria live underground in specially constructed cellars.

[edit] History
[edit] Ancient history
Austria was founded in ancient times by the Roman Empire. Back then is was known as the province of "Nirvana", due to the indigous population's preference for rock music. After a short interregnum, when German priests ruled Austria alongside the fifth reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard, Australia took over the country, shaping the countryside as it is well known today, full of kangaroos and Edelweiss.
During the Australian colonial time, Austria's population grew from about 2000 to 2 million, in sharp contrast the kangaroo population grew from just 2 kangaroos (commonly known as Adam and Eva) to around 6 billion.
[edit] Post-Australian History
After centuries of being utilized by Australia, the Austrians formed an autonomous nation in 1395 - a mere two years after the Great Kangaroo Epidemic. The young, independent nation suffered amidst the aftermath of the epidemic, developing an eating disorder which could only be remedied by an uncontrolled hunger for land. Soon the Austrians, backed by their large kangaroo based military, conquered several parts of Europe, including Spain and part of the Vatican.
[edit] Broken committments, broken promises
“Let others make war; you, fortunate Austria, marry.”
~ Oscar Wilde on on the nice cut Austria received in each of her divorce settlements
Austria stepped in and out of several marriages, as decided by her leaders. She entered wedlock in 1477 and again in 1496, the latter to Spain. Austria married Hungary in 1867, creating "Austria-Hungary". Regarding this decision, some historians say that Austria may have been a gold digger. Others contend that the Austrians believed Hungary shared their nation's romantic notions of empire-building. In any case, the marriage did not last very long. Austria and Hungary parted ways in the early 20th century, after a violent breakup.
[edit] 20th century
Later, Austria found Nazi Germany, a country that reminded Austria of Germany. Austria and Germany had shared a young romance, and Austria even explored parts of Germany and called them her own. To her horror though, Austria soon learned that Germany was her blood relative and that the prospect of a Germany-Austria union was seen as taboo by the rest of the world.
In retrospect, even Austria itself can just guess why it decided to get together with Nazi-Germany. But then again it was a young, naive Republic, easily influenced by strong nations. Not really a good excuse to be together wit a mass murderer... but the best Austria can offer so far.
The 1938 marriage to Nazi Germany was ill-fated. Funny and accommodating before the marriage, Nazi Germany showed his real face afterwards. Badly influenced by its master Hitler, it was extremely possessive, aggressive and jealous. Fearing, anybody could take away Austria, Nazi Germany mindlessly attacked anybody in Europe and Africa. Heck, Nazi-Germany wanted to attack the whole world just to make sure Austria would stay with him!
Fortunately it was a doomed project from the beginning and the resulting firestorm killed Nazi Germany together with its master Hitler. Austria somehow survived, though it took her a while to recover. In 1955, Austria promised that it has learned its lesson and would never again try to enter into a union with another country, especially Nazi Germany, Germany or however it will call itself in future.
[edit] Austria Today
The relation to Germany stays an ambivalent one. Austria enjoys its freedom while Germany doesn't seem too happy about it. In fact, it seems as Germany still wants Austria back. Yes, as ridiculous as it sounds. But every time Austria meets Germany, Germany isn't able to say anything else but: "You are mineeee!!!!", which is actually quite pathetic. Do you read that Germany? PATHETIC! Austria wishes profoundly, that Germany will sometime get over it... maybe find another nation it can be happy with and finally put Austria behind.
*sigh*
From 1945 to 1986, Austria was controlled by Frank Sinatra, the religious leader and spiritoual sumpreme kangaroo cleric of Austria. A large majority of the 16 million Austrian Roman Catholics joined his party movement, which lead to a stable and prosperous period. In 1984, however, the Viennese municipal government began a brutal crackdown on kangaroo pastry makers headquartered at Demels in Vienna which lead to Sinatra dying of a heart attack.
In 1986 former UN president Kurt Waldheim seized power and introduced mandatory kangaroo infantry membership. Austria has since then been the country harboring the United Nations Organisation headquarters.
[edit] Military of Austria
Austria has the largest military in the world - in terms of trained kangaroo soldiers. Kangaroo soldiers are equipped with M16 rifles and bomb belts. Austria is also famous for its Molotov cocktail infantry units.
[edit] The Special forces
Like the US or Germany, Austria has many undercover agents and weapons of mass destruction. The austrian Spin-off of "American Idol" (named "Starmania") produced weapons like "Falco", "Michi Tschugnall" or "Christina Stürmer". The intercontinental rocket "Chistina Stürmer 1" was named after the Nazi-newspaper back in 1944 "Der Stürmer" and the Führer's secret love "Christina". The function of those weapons is simple: They take off from the top of the Alps, fly to the target and play the individual songs until the heads of the enemy explodes. Very simple but also very efficient.
Sadly there has been a big malfunction in the biggest of those rockets, the "Falco 1". On 6 Februar 1998 the rocket left the route and crashed into a schoolbus in the Dominican Republic. The schoolbus driver was slightly injured but the "Falco 1" had a total loss.
[edit] Economy
[edit] Adolf Hitlers
Austria's most famous export was a device produced in 1933. It was known as an Adolf Hitler (abbreviated "A.H.", sometimes misunderstood as "Artificial Hitler"), a controversial robot designed to run the government of a country. It was built by a tinkering Adolf Hitler, in his own image. The project began on Austria's home soil, but Austria survived the malfunctions that resulted in the firestorm, killing Adolf Hitler while creating the (to this day) most impressing European crater (The "Uber Crater", formerly known as "Nazi Germany", hence also known as "Fubar Crater").
There was a giant recall in 1945 of all the Adolf Hitlers Austria had produced. There was only one - and the model was wildly popular with some - but all cooperated with the recall nonetheless.
It should be mentioned though, that the Adolf Hitlers recall remains a disputed issue. Despite all efforts, nobody could proof that there were any malfunctions. Certain People in the cloak of well known shadows, suspect an accidental activation of the famous, but actually secret "last resort"-mode "Hitlers Hellfire" (abbreviated "HH", also known as "88"). Other people, in the cloak of less well known shadows even speculate about a fully intended activation.
Another remaining mystery is the amount of reprogramming, made by evil(=nazi) German scientists. Many Austrians put the blame completely on their intervention. It is said, that the original program (Happy Hitler '33 + Painter add-on) could have never been that evil. Rumor has it that those evil German scientists reprogrammed the whole system, resulting in "Not-so-happy Hitler '35 + Aryanisation add-on", "Bad Hitler '39 + Megalomania add-on" and finally "Insane Hitler '45 + Shaking Hand add-on".
Should these allegations ever turn out to be true, Austrias people could finally proof their innocence in the whole matter, instead of continuously insisting on it.
[edit] Economic impact of cheese
Around 1990, Austria encountered the beginning of a serious ecological crisis. Cheese started to dribble across the border from Switzerland, slowly forming a gooey layer of subsoil. This event jeopardized the future of the region as kangaroo-friendly territory and triggered the Second Great Kangaroo Epedemic of 1991 that led to the fall of slowly spreading across the entire country. As Austria is discovering, this has an affect on everyday life and even the economy. Consequently, some have proposed that the state motto be changed to Land of Gooey Cheese in Your Shoes, but this motto was not viewed favourably by the powerful lobby of kangaroo exporters, whose hygiene standard would have been put on scrutiny by this motto.
[edit] Economy Today (and some days before)
Other then kangaroos and a distant second Mozarts Balls, Today 98% of Austrias income comes from their largest export Swasticow. Austria is also the home of the "Giant Cheese Wheel" made out of kangaroo milk.
[edit] How to confuse an Austrian
- Simply start with a "G'Day Mate!"
- Speak to them in "Germanys"-German (a mix of German and Turkish).
- Tell them how good you think the Vienna Boys' Choir are, especially little Bindi Irwin.
- Tell them you have definite proof that Marco Polo introduced coffee to the western world and now he wants it back.
- Say that cream cakes bring you out in a rash, and should have a Health Warning.
- Deny all knowledge of WWII by saying that your school didn’t think it was important enough to be included in the curriculum.
- OK, you may admit you knew the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the Philippines and Singapore but just didn't realize they got as far as Austria.
- Ask them which song from "The Sound of Music" they like the best.
- Answer all questions with yes or no (yes when you mean no and no when you mean yes).
[edit] Austria's image
Austria is known for its exquisite cardboard architecture, and this has helped to draw in tourists from all over the world. Just as important is the fact that all important composers came from Austria, or lived there, and if they didn't live there, they at least drank coffee there. Everybody wears green hats with bird feathers stuck in them and live in small huts on the side of big scary mountains. Yodelling is a national sport.
Also, to bust an old Nazi-myth: Austrians are not really Germans. This is actually a german rumor, spread by Nazis 70 years ago (guess why) and obviously still believed by some jealous (and slightly uneducated) Germans. Actually, being a German would be the most horrible nightmare for any Austrian. Why? Just look at Germanys skyrocketing unemployment rate (currently somewhere around 300% and rising!).
However, even the most patriotic Austrian has to admit, that there is a similarity with Germany: Both suck at fighting wars. How much do they suck? In World War I, they got pwned by little Serbia, big clumsy stupid Russia, and (what?) Romania. Finally, Austrians got their asses kicked by the Italians (also known as winning team joiner), who actually took a chunk of their territory. Before World War II, Austria didn't even bother to fight back when Nazi Germany invaded (although one good reason to explain it could be that Austria was at that time as brainwashed as Nazi Germany).
So who are Austrians?
There are several answers to this question:
- One says it could be disguised Italians as suggested by their being Catholic, fond of good food, good music, good coffee, and awful at fighting wars.
- Another one says that Austria - being the heart of Europe - unites the best of all European countries.
- A third one says that they are sent by Martians, to observe those strange humans.
- and so on...
