Where Austria is, and what it borders

Austria is in Central Europe. It is landlocked and borders 8 countries: Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland. Neighbouring music often shares instruments and scales, which is why the game shows distance after a wrong guess.
