I don't mean to jump on the bandwagon but, no, Austria-Hungary is not something one should strive for. It should exclusively be a Victoria thing, showing the decline of Austria, if Austria wants to form something, it should strive for Germany or the Holy Roman Empire, and if not it should stick as Austria, as it did historically. They tried to unite the Holy Roman Empire, failed, so they kept as Austria with their own empire while trying to go for Germany, that failed, then their empire began crumbling and they formed Austria-Hungary to preserve as much as they could before finally having the nail in the coffin from WWI. Even as a formable in Victoria, it should be a mark of shame on Austria. A skilled player in Victoria should want to form Germany or keep the Austrian Empire intact.
