Let an agent explain the federal states of Austria, relay their number, powers, institutions and role from constitutional and statistical sources, note that individual states are instances, and distinguish them from districts and municipalities, German Bundeslander, Swiss cantons and statistical regions.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the federal states of Austria, relay their number, powers, institutions and role from constitutional and statistical sources, note that individual states are instances, and distinguish them from districts and municipalities, German Bundeslander, Swiss cantons and statistical regions.
Any of the nine federated states of Austria, the Bundeslander, which are the first-level administrative divisions of the federal Republic of Austria, including Vienna, which is both a state and a city, Lower and Upper Austria, Styria, Tyrol, Carinthia, Salzburg, Vorarlberg and Burgenland; each has its own constitution, elected legislature or Landtag and government, with powers shared with the federal level, and they also serve as NUTS statistical regions. This entry covers the category, and individual states are instances.
What it is for: First-level federal divisions of Austria.
It can be explain the number and powers; relay institutions; note individual states as instances; distinguish related units.
