Noble titles: gróf = Count; báró = Baron; fejedelem = Prince.
 
 ¹Full style of rulers: There is no extended form of the style (at least after 1528) that does not begin with the imperial style (Holy Roman Empire to 1806, Austria from 1804). If only Hungary itself is to be singled out, we might have: Isten kedvezókegyelméböl magyar apostoli király/királynö ("by the grace of God, Hungarian apostolic king/queen-regnant"}
  The term apostoli (apostolic) became official in 1758. The term királynö (queen-regnant) literally means "female-king", and is rendered rex (not as regina) in the official Latin, the term királynö is therefor different from királyné (queen-consort}.
 ²The Palatine (palatinus regni), in Hungarian Nádorispán, was the traditional highest court official of the kingdom, who stood at the head of the magnates and if necessary was called upon to mediate between the crown and the estates.  No appointments to this exalted office were made after the 1848 revolution.

 ³Formal styles of the prime ministers: Miniszterelnök (minister-president) to 5 Sep 1949, 24 Oct - 4 Nov 1956, and from 23 Oct 1989; a Minisztertanács elnöke (president of the Council of Ministers) 5 Sep 1949 - 24 Oct 1956, 28 Jan 1958 - 30 Jun 1965, and 15 May 1975 - 23 Oct
1989; a Magyar Forradalmi Munkás-Paraszt Kormány elnöke (president of the Hungarian Revolutionary Workers' and Peasants' Government) 4 Nov 1956 - 28 Jan 1958 and 30 Jun 1965 - 15 May 1975.

Territorial Disputes: Bilateral government, legal, technical and economic working group negotiations continue in 2006 with Slovakia over Hungary's failure to complete its portion of the Gabcikovo-Nagymaros hydroelectric dam project along the Danube; as a member state that forms part of the EU's external border, Hungary must implement the strict Schengen border rules
