The 9 states of Austria
Austria has 9 states. This page lists all of them.
The table shows the English name first. The German name is accepted as an answer too, and it appears in the second column.
English names and local names
The quiz shows English names, because that is what most players type. It accepts the German name as well.
Accent marks do not matter. The quiz folds accents before it compares, so a name typed without them still counts.
Abbreviations are not accepted. A short code is ambiguous, and one code often matches the start of another name.
About the states
Austria is a federation. Each state has its own parliament and government.
Vienna is both the national capital and a full state — the smallest by area, with the most people.
Burgenland is the youngest state. It joined Austria in 1921.
