Talk:Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg II (Map Game)/@comment-27150436-20171205145255

Austrian Empire
 * Government: Parliamentary Monarchy
 * Emperor of Austria: Karl von Habsburg-Lothringen
 * Minister-President and Minister for Finance: Albert von Mensdorff-Pouilly-Dietrichstein
 * political: Just now it's an intensive fight between the social democrats and conservatists on how will be the next ruling party. We are also preparing for Ausgleich 1937 and hope that we can unite our empire even more.

Kaiser Karl, following in the footsteps of the assassinated Franz Ferdinand in trying to reform the multinational Austro-Hungarian Empire into something that could survive in the twentieth century, launched a series of large-scale reforms; however, his efforts were largely blocked by a nobility of the Hungarian side of the Empire - leading to his plans of federalisation progressing only slowly, and only on the Cisleithanian side of the Empire.
 * Backstory: Despite standing amongst the victors of the Weltkrieg, the war revealed the divisions of culture, class, and ideology within the Empire ever so clearly, and the inner unrest continued on as the war ended.
 * Population: 12 million
 * Area: Around 135,000 km²
 * Miltary:
 * Army: The Cisleithanian part of the Austro-Hungarian Army are the Imperial/Royal Austrian Landwehr regiments (German: "kaiserlich/königlich" or k.k., which stands for Imperial Austrian / Royal Bohemian). They consist of fifteen infantry divisions, two specialized mountain divisions, and one outdated cavalry division. About 35,000 in field manpower
 * Navy: The Austro-Hungarian Navy is almost completely composed of Austrian units. However, despite its growth since the reconquest of Venice in the Weltkrieg, it is considered outdated and underdeveloped when compared to the navies of the other Great Powers. Sea power has never been a priority in the Austrian foreign policy, and the navy itself is relatively little known and supported by the public. Activities such as open days and naval clubs have been unable to change the sentiment that the navy is just something "expensive but far away". Another point is that naval expenditures are for most of the time overseen by the Austrian War Ministry which is largely controlled by the army. Currently, the Austrian Navy comprises six battleships, one heavy cruiser, six light cruisers, sixteen destroyers and ten submarines.
 * Air Force: As for the Navy, even the Austro-Hungarian Air Forces are almost completely composed of Austrian units. The Austrian Air Force comprises two squadrons of interceptors and two of naval bombers, for the support of the Navy. However, none of them is at full strength and there are no plans for an expansion in the future, as the Air Force is not considered a priority.
 * Economy: The black Monday have made our economy pretty crappy and the government tries to improve it by all means.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Very good relations with Germany, Hungary, Illyria, Bohemia, Galicia-Lodomiera, Italian Federation and the Kingdom of Spain.
 * Friendly relations with Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Netherlands.
 * Unfriendly relations with Romania and Serbia.
