Austro-Hungarian Empire

The Dual Monarchy established by the Habsburg Franz Joseph in 1867 between his empire of Austria and his kingdom of Hungary (including territory that became Czechoslovakia as well as parts of Poland, the Ukraine, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Italy).

It collapsed in the autumn of 1918 with the end of World War I. Only two king-emperors ruled: Franz Joseph and Karl.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire came into being with an agreement known as the Ausgleich. The two countries retained their own legal and administrative systems but shared foreign policy. In 1910 the empire had an area of 261,239 sq km/100,865 sq mi with a population of 51 million.

This has, indeed, been one of the main reasons historically why large, internally diversified nations and empires (like the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Soviet Union) have collapsed: The costs to Estonians of remaining inside the Soviet empire, or to Czechs of remaining inside the Austrian one, came to outweigh any benefits they derived from the efficiencies of greater national scale.
