The Austrian Empire was serious about its censorship. It had a very, very long state index of banned books, mostly based on the Vatican’s Index librorum prohibitorum.
Ironically, the Austrian state index became a defacto list of interesting books, and students would buy it, to find out what they should be reading! In the end, the state index was itself placed on a banned books register in 1777.
