Austria-Hungary makes no sense for the time period. Two Sicilies, on the other hand, existed in 1815. Why isn't there a tag for it? It should be a minor one, like Tuscany.
Why can't I establish Austria-hungary?

still doesnt change the fact germany tag was added into game to reach empire statusyea I was gonna say it if I was op I agree but germany is there because when it was not possible to randomly become emperor that decision was a way to reach empire rank
wich means tag itself is nothing but "hey I want to become an empire instead of kingdom" buttonafter decision added by itself it stayed there for flavor

Germany tag was there in earlier versions of EU without tiered monarchs.
You can already play as Austria-Hungary.
Step 1 pick Austria
Step 2 Get personal union on Hungary
Step 3 ???
Step 4 Never integrate Hungary
Step 5 And now you have Austria hungary just like the irl conterpart you have little to no control over the eastern half of your nation and you would be better off integrating them.
If you really want to play as Austria-hungary play Victoria 2 or if thats not an option download Kaiserreich for hoi4.

You have a generic button to reach empire status once you have 1k development.still doesnt change the fact germany tag was added into game to reach empire status
I'm sorry for being that guy, but what exactly do you mean by "establishing Austria-Hungary"? What is "Austria-Hungary" but two states united by same monarch, with two capitals, two Parliaments, two Landwehrs, two different titles for monarch, essentially unconnected economics?.. So it would be Personal Union in all it's shine.
No AUH (edit: in EU4) seems to be some kind of Paradox thing, dont try to look for sense or logic in there (i mean, we have Rome for Johan's sake...) its just the way it is.

Yes, HoI4 definitely was created by some kind of another company.
The in-game Italy refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy_(Napoleonic), which existed between 1805 and 1814.
But more importantly, the Kingdom of Italy as a title always existed.
You do realize that tag was in the game *before* empire rank was a thing? Granted there was the "empire" government form before, but it mostly sucked...still doesnt change the fact germany tag was added into game to reach empire status
No it wasn't. EU4 period is where the concept of nation-states started to be born, but most states were still just territorial states. The Victorian Era is where Nation States started to become a Norm: people started fighting en-masse to form Nation States, the population started working together to keep them going (thus making large Democracies possible), and numerous heterogenic nations (like Austria) started collapsing to internal nationalistic pressures.
This
Kingdom of Italy is older concept than Holy Roman Empire, and so is Kingdom of Germany ( East Francia ).
The titles are there to be claimed, and officially, The Emperor of Holy Roman Empire is the King of Germany and Italy.
Look at the provinces... It doesn't correspond. Anyway, I don't really care, but formable nations are just nice, that's all.
Thats wrong, the Kingdom of Italy, in game, is modeled after the Lombardian Kingdom of Italy and thats de facto a german Kingdom, Otto I. (Emperor of the HRE since 962 A.D.) was crowned King of Italy in 951 AD.
Thats why the Emperor, in EU IV, get the mission to retake the italian HRE countries. Using the Napoleonic Flag is a failure from PDX.
Sorry for offtop: sounds like taking Mandate of Heaven from Ming as Korea in game
They could add a national disaster in which a bunch of hungarian rebels pop up and force you to release Hungary as a PU state, at least around the time that nationalism starts to pop up.
that would really suck. huge penalty exclusive to austria for an event that didn't even happen until 1850-1867
Yea, I guess, just dont know anny way that paradox could do it without making it a positive thing, but its obviously completely unnessesary, especially with the recent nerfs on Austria.
In that case, I would say Austria should be able to form Austria-Hungary on 2 conditions Austria is not the Emperor and the Empire is a different religion from Austria so protestant empire and Catholic Austria this would integrate a Pued Hungary and give them as accepted culture and Austria breaks out of the HRE.
This solves the issue of it resulting from failures of Austria.
It still doesn't solve the issue of Austria being a result of Hungarians wanting more rights etc.
