## Overview

### Austria

Deriving its name from the Old High German term "Ostarrichi" first
recorded in 996 by Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, the small, landlocked
nation of Austria has long been an influential player in the political
and military sagas of Europe. Beginning in the 13th century with the
nearly 650 year rule of the powerful Habsburg Monarchy, Austria emerged
as one of the premier nations of Europe, establishing strong alliances
and far-reaching trade agreements across the continent. The later union
of Austria and Hungary as a singular empire brought stability to both
nations, only to be broken by the turmoil of World War I, and
eventually, the German occupation of World War II. In the aftermath of
these great conflicts, the borders of Austria were recreated, and the
independent Republic of Austria stands today as a democratic nation that
prides itself on maintaining neutrality and stability.

### Joseph II

Joseph II was Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790 and ruler of the Habsburg lands from 1780 to 1790. He was the eldest son of Empress Maria Theresa and her husband, Francis I, and was the brother of Marie Antoinette. He was thus the first ruler in the Austrian dominions of the House of Lorraine, styled Habsburg-Lorraine (von Habsburg-Lothringen in German). Joseph was a proponent of enlightened absolutism; however, his commitment to modernizing reforms subsequently engendered significant opposition, which eventually culminated in an ultimate failure to fully implement his programmes. His policies are now known as Josephinism. He died with no sons and was succeeded by his younger brother, Leopold.

#### Dawn of Man

"The people of Austria welcome His Imperial Highness, Joseph II, Archduke of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor. Upon the death of your mother, Queen Maria Theresa, you set out to transform Austria into a modern state. You championed the ideals of the Enlightenment and sought to unite your many peoples beneath a centralized government. Although your reforms would ultimately fail to take hold, your ideals would remain a testimony to your broad-minded governance and your secular rule, and would allow Austria the path to modernity that it rightly deserved.

Noble Archduke, the time has come to once more be a voice to the Enlightenment. Can you see to it that your people are governed with prudence and fairness? Can you safeguard Austria from the medieval fixities which plague other states? Can you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?"

**Introduction:** "Welcome, fine leader. I am Joseph II of Austria. I beckon you to dine with me this evening in the fine halls of my palace."

**Introduction:** "Welcome to Austria. I am Joseph II. I hope you leave here with some impression of what it means to be enlightened."

**Defeat:** "This defeat casts a shadow over Austria that she may never recover from."

**Defeat:** "You would return Austria to her dark ages with this defeat."

### Events and Decisions

#### Centralize Medical Care

Epidemics and plagues have cost our people dearly. In this new age of enlightenment and technology, we should seek to curb disease by centralizing all medical care to the capital.

* May only be enacted once per game

Costs:

* 900  Gold
* 1  Magistrate

Rewards:

* Constructs the Allgemeines Krankenhaus in your  Capital

#### Uniform the Chancelleries

The centre-piece to the modern state is a highly centralized, professional-elite bureaucracy. Let us strip all prerogatives and privileges that would otherwise oppose this ideal, and uniform the realm's chancelleries.

Requirements/Restrictions:

* Player must be Austria (Joseph II)
* May only be enacted from the beginning of the Enlightenment/Industrial Era
* May only be enacted once per game

Costs:

#### Death Penalty

Our brother, the Grand Duke of [City-State], having read of its decriment by the jurist Cesare Beccaria, has recently abolished the use of the death penalty in all cases. He has suggested to us that we follow his example, as a sign of our commitment to the enlightenment.

**Option 1:** The death penalty is a necessity and a justice.

**Option 2:** Very well. Let us follow our good brother's example.

* Your  Capital goes into 2 turns of Resistance

#### Amadeus Mozart

It is an unfortunate truth that we are not counted amongst the great composers of our age. However, we have been presented with the rare opportunity of employing the great Mozart as our tutor. Of course, our funds might yet be better spent elsewhere, on furthering Mozart's own work.

**Option 1:** We are certainly eager to learn!

* Lose 800  Gold
* Gain a permanent 10% boost to the generation of  Great Musicians

**Option 2:** We would rather assist in the creation of a new opera.
