. The earth and its inhabitants ... Geography. CHAPTER IX. STATISTICS OF AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.. ^ HE j^olitical situation of the twin empire of the Danube is altogether unstable. Vienna and Pest are geographical centres, no doubt, but the incompatibility of the races inhabiting the empire has caused its boundaries to fluctuate in accordance with the fortunes of war, and with the success of diplomatic intrigues or matrimonial alliances. There was a time when the house of Habsburg was the most powerful in the world.
