I wonder what'll happen to Hungary, Galicia, and the rest after the Revolution. Sister republics, or carved into departments under direct rule from Vienna?
May the Crown of Saint Stephen be born anew upon a Magyar king!

The Rot? Will moldy bread birth a Republic in Austria?

I hope so too, but I also want Republican Austria to be a great power. Though it could probably pull that off with just Bohemia and Austria Proper...

I just hope there’s no Austrian jacobins.
Great to see another update! How do the Americans react to the events happening in France? Considering their king and the details of the situation leading up to it, I’m willing to believe they have a greater interest in it.
1790 is before the 2nd or 3rd Partitions of Poland, so Russia must march through the PLC to reach Hungary. Repelling the Russians, meanwhile, would require the mass-conscript armies of Schottist Austria to make at least minimal incursions into Lublin or present-day Western Ukraine.
The Deluge is going to seem a drizzle indeed.
This timeline is getting dark and I am loving it. Is it just me or does anarchism seem like it will become bigger in this TL. Also will most countries still be monarchies by present day, or will some Republics form?
As appealing as "prestige" might be, Russia's excuse for fighting is honestly pretty piss-poor. I bet its military will be fed up with this war soon enough, unless the Austrians prove to be a really dangerous enemy. Though von Hiller's experience may be a cautionary example for any aspiring military putschists in TTL's future...
I do wonder if that fire-bird flag will be relevant soon.
I've been thinking about what the Conseilleres remind me of, and recently found it-- the Carlists. Are they based on the Carlists in any way, and will their Rouge successor movements assume Carlist characteristics?
I don’t remember but is Napoleon Bonaparte up to anything?

Hopswoodism sounds more like communism than anarchism, to be frank.Hello everyone! Sorry for being slow on the update on this time again, the day after I posted that update, I fled the cold misery of my home and went on a trip to Hawaii. Kinda unexpectedly, I've been without consistent access to the internet so I've missed a bit. I'm back now though, and while I wanted to write a nice Hawaiian update, it's a bit early in the timeline for that. So, instead, the update for today is the final preparation for Austrian Revolution and finally brings everyone's favorite punching bag, Poland, into the timeline!
Well, first, responses.
Americans are generally supportive of the French monarchy, first and foremost as supporting their permanent ally. However, one idea that is slowly beginning to form in a few minds in America and France are the ideas of a sort of "League of Liberty" with America and France being global champions of Enlightenment and Freedom.
Once again, Poland is stuck between an Austrian and Russian dictator. On a more serious note, Poland will see fighting in her borders but less as an attempt to drive Russia back and more as the Austrian revolutionaries spread the Revolution.
To be totally honest, this timeline only seems dark because of the general focus on America, and America is turning out a lot worse than in OTL.
Anarchism proper won't have a seriously increased influence, but the near-Anarchism of Hopswoodism will. And while monarchism will remain stronger than OTL, republicanism will rise.
Hopswoodism sounds more like communism than anarchism, to be frank.
Yeah but you said "all institutions will be subservient to the state " earlier, is that supposed to be an "interim" stage of Hopswoodism or the end-goal?Hopswoodism as what we've seen so far in the Regulators probably is closer to communism than anarchism (not 100% sure on the finer details of these ideologies, but isn't communism meant to end in anarchism?), but the ideology has yet to reach it's final form. I don't actually know of a very good comparison, but Fully-fledged Hopswoodism will be a mixture of Maoism, Physiocracy, Freiwirtschaft, and Anarcho-Capitalism. A vestigial state will remain, but it's authority is limited to holding excess lands and maintaining currency. It's not quite anarchism, but it's not really an ideology with a proper state either, that's why I see it as "near-Anarchism."
