The Hungarian nobility get crushed in my timeline. Austria-Hungary can now reform, and Vienna gains more power.
Would it be possible that the new "Austrian Empire" reforms into a unitary state based on France or other unitary states.
Many people here seem to dislike the idea of federalization,and think it could end in a big mess if all states have their own parliaments. I can imagine that could be true, look what happend OTL with Hungary, and now imagine the same for the czechs, croats etc.
All nationalities still get respected, and Austria is divided in Provinces, in the Province Carniola Slovene is the offical language, in German Austria it is german etc. The kingdom of hungary would get split in ethnically based provinces.
