           HUNGARY
==============================

Landlocked in the heartland of
Europe, Hungary is dominated
by the great plain to the east
of the River Danube, which
runs north-south across the
country. In the west lies the
largest lake in Central
Europe, Lake Balaton. Winters
are severe, but summers are
warm. Hungary experienced a
modest boom in its economy in
the 1970s and 1980s. Yields of
cereals and rice have since
soared, and large areas
between the Danube and Tisza
Rivers are now used to grow
vegetables. Industries have
been carefully expanded where
adequate natural resources
exist, and tourism is fast
developing.
