What happened to Austria in the Cyberpunk universe (2020–2077)?

In Cyberpunk lore, Austria (Austria (EEC Core Monetary & Industrial Directorate)) is aligned with EuroBank, Euro Business Machines (EBM) & IEC. In 2020 (● FOURTH CORP WAR ARMED NEUTRALITY, Sovereignty 24%): During the Fourth Corporate War (2021–2023), Austria’s national gendarmerie coordinates with EEC military command to lock down local Arasaka and Militech offices within hours. By 2077 (● FORTIFIED EEC SANCTUARY, Sovereignty 14%): In 2077, Vienna functions as a pristine, hyper-regulated European sanctuary for corporate executives where predictive algorithms pre-empt street crime.
