geography - Where is הגר? The country, not the person

In the מטה אשר (commentary to שמלה חדשה), it is recorded that it was the custom of Jews in "מדינות מלכות רוסיא וגאלציא וגם במדינת הגר בקהילת היראים" to use the sefer שמלה חדשה to learn the halachos of shechita. So I figured out (big deal) that רוסיא is Russia, and גאלציא is Galicia; but what/where is הגר?

Answer

Hungary.

See this matzeva from Sighet, Hungary
