According to Reuters, during a vote for 10 non-permanent UN Security Council memberships "Vienna was lucky that only one country appeared to have confused the small Alpine nation with Australia." One mystery nation voted for Australia instead of Austria, even though the former was not even on the ballot!
"So many people confuse Australia and Austria -- Oesterreich in German -- that tourist shops across the mountainous central European state sell T-shirts and other souvenirs sporting the slogan 'there are no kangaroos in Austria' " - report continues.
