Austria is a country in central Europe that once made up one half of Austria-Hungary, although I'm not sure which. Although by and large a mild and well-intentioned bunch, Austrians have earned the mistrust of their neighbors by only speaking German (never Austrian) in front of foreigners (you guys aren't fooling anybody, you know). However, their shyness is understandable; almost every Austrian who ever achieved any sort of fame outside the homeland's borders eventually turned out to be some kind of Nazi.
