Formable Nation: Austria-Hungary

[SignedName]

At tech level 22, enable the decision for Austria to form Austria-Hungary. It would be a cultural union of the Magyar culture group (so no Hungarian nationalist revolts, and Hungarian will always be accepted culture), and change the country into a Constitutional Monarchy of Kingdom rank. I know it's anachronistic, but so is stuff like Scandinavia/Germany, and it would give Austria its own special formable and get some use out of Hungary being an isolated culture group.

Agree!

 

[Hakuromatsu]

Yeah, if we can have canals we can have this. Austria & Hungary were certainly close-knit and/or cozy enough.

KuK was created by the crisis (it was bad) and not as a great idea...

The problem is that it was only done because the austrians couldnt rule all the other peoples by themselfes.

Before the age of nationalism this problem doesnt exist because bohemians,croats,italians etc all recognise their ruler as their ruler no matter what nationality he is,people back then didnt much care who ruled them as long as it wasnt unbearable.

So what possible motivation could the habsburgs have to share power with the hungarians when there is no valid reason for it?

Good point. Maybe it could be enabled after the "Reactionary Reforms of 1789" event, which spawns lots of separatist rebels. Unfortunately, that would mean you'd only be able to play as A-H for twenty years before end-game.

Fair enough.

This Reform would weaken Austria. It made Hungary and Croatia (Croatia had its own compromise with hungary a little later) his own Nation, with it's own internal policies, army and currency. Crossing the Leitha was like crossing national borders.

So ingame it would be Hungary (with Croatia) becoming PU again or
getting hungarian and croatian cities fixed LA of 100%.
And the nationalists would still exist and want total independence. In both solutions.

As someone already mentioned Austria was forced to grant them the compromise, so some crysis would be needed to do so.

 

[illathid]

Yeah I could see an event where Austria is forced to release Hungary as a minor PU partner. But a new tag doesn't make sense.

Personally, I think the issue could be alleviated by adding in more cultures to the Magyar group: rename Magyar to Carpathian, and add Romanian and a new Transylvanian Culture into it.
