Austria's famous flower is the Edelweiss, a small white blossom that grows in the Alps. The Edelweiss was immortalized in a song by the same name in the musical and movie, The Sound of Music. Prettysharp.

To set the record straight, "The Sound of Music" is an American musical set in Austria. It was written by Americans (Rodgers & Hammerstein) for an English speaking audience. There are no Austrian songs in it.

Most Austrians know of the story of the Sound of music which is based on a popular Austro-German film of the 1950s called Die Familie Trapp. The story-line of the film is almost identical to the musical. A stage version of The Sound of Music was played in Vienna about 2007.

Is Austria rich or poor?

NO, America is richier as GDP and GDP per capita. Americans have $48000 of GDP per capita, vs $35000 for Germans. As a whole country America is 10 times richier than Germany with just 4 times Gemany population.

Correction to Mr. Ernesto006: GDP of USA is 16,800 billions USD while Germany GDP is 3,660billions USD. (aprox. value).

Wikipedia sucks, look specialised websites please.

That makes the USA GDP 4,6 times higher than the German one WITH 3,8 times more population AND 27,5 times it surface (and is not Siberia, I´m talking about productive, habitable surface).

So USA is richer, Germany more productive. And btw, Germany has a social welfare by far better than the US one (with the cost that it represents).

I like both, States and Germany, but let´s be precise.
