Austria-Hungary

Ruler of the Danube

The Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council and the Lands of the Holy Hungarian Crown of St. Stephen - known worldwide as Austria-Hungary - is third nation created on Gladius, following Japan and Britannia. The nation controls a large portion of the Balkans, as well as 2 of the 3 gates into the Mediterranean Sea. The nation is responsible for the fall of Georgia, the completion of the Suez Canal, and the liberation of nearly 10 towns at the time of writing.

In the past, it has participated in fierce conflicts against many nations - including many German-inspired states, Georgia, and Japan. It has also had a fierce continental rivalry with the Kaiserreich, but ever since the two nations have been included in the Internationale, both nations have largely scaled down on their military endeavors against each other.

The nation of Austria-Hungary has its leadership shared between two players - Holy\_Divinity and nekat\_si\_eman. This is accomplished by trading official leadership of the nation every 7 days, as well as rotating capitals simultaneously to achieve this.

The plazas of both Budapest and Vienna for these capitals is still under construction at the time of writing.

### The War for European Dominance (Austro-German War)

War was declared on Germany by the nation on the 19th of July with the intentions of retribution for their fallen comrades who had been dishonorably killed by guerilla warmongers within Germany's ranks. Initial setbacks were administered on the Austro-Hungarian assault at Altenburg, which would later lead to Germany's downfall at the Battle of Prague where they let hubris get the better of them, losing every single German soldier in the humiliating battle of Prague. The Germans were forced back to their capital, Berlin where they took shelter inside their homes, as the Austro-Hungarians surrounded the city.

### War of the Germanic States

An initial strike on Altenburg proved disastrous for the Austro-Hungarian forces and led to a withdrawal from the territory, later sending out a strike team to 2v2 IIJupiterII and MoojuChoco, which led to IIJupiterII's death. Despite the military intervention of the Kaiserreich, Austria-Hungary's newest ally, the Altenburgers would not back down and led raids on Austro-Hungarian towns - occasionally killing citizens who did not pay attention to the map. By its end, IIJupiterII was banned for 30d for alt account usage, and the war ended peacefully.
