Migration knows no political frontier, yet official statistics must halt at the state border — a mismatch this 1892 Viennese dossier sets out to repair. Prompted by Austro-Hungarian and German agreements of 1890–91, Inama-Sternegg frames the diplomacy and the resolution of the International Statistical Institute, while Heinrich Rauchberg's memorandum builds the technical program: exchange not aggregate tables but individual census cards, so a home state can classify its nationals abroad by age, occupation, and origin exactly as it classifies its domestic population. Nationality supplies the operative basis, birthplace a substitute where it is not recorded. Throughout, the authors draw a juridical line: names omitted, the records reserved for statistics alone — making mobile populations visible without turning census counts into surveillance.
