'''Hungary''' ({{lang-hu|Magyarország}}), is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Spanning an area of 93,030 square kilometers in the [[Pannonian Basin]], it is bordered by [[Slovakia]] to the north, [[Ukraine]] to the northeast, [[Romania]] to the east and southeast, [[Serbia]] to the south, [[Croatia]] and [[Slovenia]] to the southwest, and [[Austria]] to the west.

Hungary has an estimated population of around 9.5 million people. Its capital and largest city is [[Budapest]], followed by major urban centers such as [[Debrecen]], [[Szeged]], [[Miskolc]], [[Pécs]], and [[Győr]].

== History ==
=== Early History and Kingdom ===
Following centuries of settlement by [[Celts]], [[Romans]], [[Goths]], and [[Huns]], the foundation of the Hungarian state was laid in the late 9th century AD by the Grand Prince [[Árpád]] during the conquest of the Carpathian Basin. His great-grandson [[Stephen I of Hungary|Stephen I]] ascended the throne in 1000 AD, converting the realm to Christianity and establishing the [[Kingdom of Hungary]].

=== Modern History ===
In the aftermath of World War I, Hungary lost over two-thirds of its historic territory under the [[Treaty of Trianon]] (1920). Following World War II, the country became a Soviet satellite state known as the [[Hungarian People's Republic]]. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a nation-wide revolt against the Soviet-imposed government, which was eventually suppressed by Soviet forces. Hungary opened its borders with Austria in 1989, accelerating the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, and transitioned into a democratic parliamentary republic. Hungary joined [[NATO]] in 1999 and the [[European Union]] in 2004.

== Geography ==
Hungary's landscape consists mostly of the flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian Basin, particularly the [[Great Hungarian Plain]] (Nagyalföld) in the south and east. The principal rivers flowing through the country are the [[Danube]] and the [[Tisza]], which divide the country into distinct regions.

=== Climate ===
Hungary experiences a continental climate with hot summers featuring low overall humidity and cold, snowy winters. Average annual temperatures range between 8 and 11 °C.

== Economy ==
Hungary is a high-income economy with a strong emphasis on foreign trade, manufacturing, and services. Key industrial sectors include industrial machinery, automotive manufacturing (such as plants operated by Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW), electronics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Tourism also plays a prominent role in the economy, centered around [[Budapest]] and [[Lake Balaton]], the largest lake in Central Europe.

== Demographics ==
* **Population:** ~9.5 million inhabitants.
* **Ethnic groups:** Predominantly [[Hungarians]] (Magyars, approx. 85%), with minority populations of [[Romani people|Romani]], [[Germans of Hungary|Germans]], and [[Slovaks]].
* **Religions:** Historically majority [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], with a significant [[Calvinism|Calvinist]] minority and a growing secular population.
* **Languages:** Hungarian is the sole official language and the primary native language of the vast majority of the population.
