Own every card of: Austria.
For centuries this small Alpine country was the heart of the Habsburg empire. Vienna ruled over Austria-Hungary until 1918. Since 1955 Austria has been bound by a permanent neutrality written into its law. Salzburg is the birthplace of Mozart, and the Viennese coffee houses are on UNESCO's intangible heritage list.

Acoustics engineering and manufacturing company
Its name abbreviates a German phrase meaning "acoustics and cinema equipment". Rudolf Goerike and Ernst Pless founded the company in 1947 and its first headphones came out two years later. Bought by Samsung along with the Harman group in 2016, it is no longer a maker but just a brand.
