With 1.30 patch Croatia became junior partner of Hungary in personal union. Perhaps it's a disputable change (in my opinion the Hungarian-Croatian relation was more than PU in these centuries), but in paralel this alteration, it is worth considering, that after the battle of Mohács Hungary and Bohemia wouldn't be simply incorporated to Austria, but became junior partner in personal union with Habsburgs (like under Ladislaus Posthumus in 1450s and like Croatia above).
In 1526 Archiduke Ferdinand was elected to Bohemian and Hungarian king (the later was disputed by John Szapolyai but it is another story). but these countries remained relatively autonomous in many area (they have own diets, separate estates, governing offices etc.) Under the next few centuries the Habsburg rulers tried to centralizing their empire with more or less success. Bohemia lost the most of its autonomy after 1620 (battle of White Mountain), but the court of Vienna only could govern Hungary without the diet and the nobility for relatively short preiods (e.g in the end of the 17th century and under Joseph II.) Joseph II. made an attemp to fully incorporate Hungary to his empire, but this trial was unsuccesfull, too.
So, in the term of EU IV, if in the game, before 1526 Croatia was separate entity under Hungarian rule, after 1526 Hungary and Bohemia could be under the same condition: junior partner of Austria in PU. Bohemia could lost this status in 1620, and perhaps Hungary too, after 1686 when the diet accepted the hereditary Habsburg rule instead of theoretically "free election" (but, as I wrote, in 18th century Hungary remained more autonomous than another Austrian domains). I think, it is reasonable in Croatian case too, because it is odd for me, that before 1526 Croatia depicted in the game as separate entity, and with the Habburg hereditary it vanished by a blink, meanwhile in Croatian view only the ruling dinasty changed.
