A state in central Austria. It has an area of 7,154 km2 and a population of 508,000 (1995). 88% of the inhabitants are Catholic. The state capital is Salzburg. It borders Tyrol to the southwest, Carinthia to the south, Steiermark to the east, Upper Austria to the northeast, and the German states of Bavaria to the northwest.
