**Austria**, formerly known as **Vienna**, the heir to the Austrian Empire, is a country from the WC universe who represents Austria since the end of World War I.

## Personality

Austria is a serious and dignified woman who tends to keep to herself and remain focused on her work. She is somewhat unpopular due to her behavior during and after World War II and her defensiveness towards NG; however, her more recent efforts to acknowledge her wrongdoings have made others more willing to respect her and her musical prowess.

## Relationships

### Family

Austria is the daughter of the Austrian Empire. She had a good relationship with her mother growing up, and shared her mother's affinity for music. From her mother, Austria learned how to read music and play the piano. Austria is looked upon fondly by her mother's partner, Hungary, who treats her like a child of her own.

Austria is the niece of Prussia (the German Empire), but, due to the close relationship of her mother and aunt while growing up, she always regarded Prussia as an additional parental figure. Unlike her relatives, Austria was quite willing to point out the ridiculousness of Prussia's outrageous ideas.

Due to the closeness of their parents, Austria always considered her cousin Berlin (Nazi Germany) as her brother. Following the deaths of their mothers in World War I, the two of them intended to live together, but were prevented from doing so by the Allies. Not only did this feed the bitterness these two felt over the results of the war and the corresponding punishment inflicted upon them for the war their mothers died in, but it made Austria all the more willing to support NG as he began an increasingly radical course of action. Austria was a key figure in NG's estate during the World War II, and openly supported and assisted her brother, something she would later try to deny following the war's end. In the decades that followed, Austria would gradually come around to admitting that both her brother's actions and her own were wrong. However, she still can't help but cling to the nostalgia she feels when she thinks about the simpler times before the world wars, when her family was still alive and together.

Austria considers Modern Germany to be her nephew, and has a strong desire to get closer to him, but has been repeated prevented from doing so by England and France, who believed that she would be a bad influence on him while growing up. In the Modern Era, Germany discovered this, and decided to visit Austria himself to form his own opinion of her. Although their perspectives of his father could not be more different, Germany has expressed some desire to get to know his aunt better.

### Friends and Allies

In the Modern Era, Austria has begun a romantic relationship with Latvia. They often work together to produce music, with Austria creating the original compositions for piano and Latvia making the official digital mix.

### Enemies

Israel and Poland openly resent Austria, in part because of her compliance with NG during the World War II, but moreso for her denial after the fact. This sentiment is shared by many former members of NG's staff. Israel and Poland disapprove of Germany initiating contact with his aunt in the Modern Era.
