Habsburg Monarchy

The Habsburg Monarchy was a country that existed during Episode XVII of Brazilian's Varna series, as the de jure leader of the Protestant League during the War of the Leagues.
The Habsburg Monarchy was a federative entity composed of the following constituents:
* Archduchy of Austria
* Royal Hungary
* Kingdom of Croatia
Austria had founded this union on the Day of Ruination, just as the War of the Leagues had broken out. This was a religious war between the Protestant League and the Catholic League of Verdun. The Habsburgs' main front was the War of Hungarian Succession, as other small armies fought against Bohemia and Bavaria in the Holy Roman Schism.

In November 1567, the Balkan League began invading southern Hungarian territories, joined by Sardinia and the Italic Union. Out of fear, Croatia seceded from the Habsburg Monarchy, granted half of their territory to Italia, and joined the Balkan League. Two years later, with the formation of the Commonwealth, Croatia was once again afraid, and convinced the Balkan League to leave the war, taking a few occupied territories.
The Monarchy was officially dissolved in the 1571 Vienna Conference. As the Polish king of the Commonwealth was recognised as the legitimate king of Hungary, Carinthia was officially recognised as an Italic puppet. Styria gained independence, while Austria proper was annexed into the Bohemian crown.
