AustriaUngarit

AustriaUngarit is a fictional or speculative political entity imagined as a unified state combining the Austrian lands with the historic Hungarian kingdom. The name is a portmanteau of Austria and Ungarit, a neologism used in alternate history and speculative fiction. In such works, AustriaUngarit is portrayed as a multilingual federation with a common market and shared institutions, while preserving local autonomy.

In many variants, it emerges from late-20th or early-21st-century political realignments or as a continuation of the former Austria-Hungary framework after a peaceful dissolution and reunion. The concept is used to explore questions of national identity, minority rights, and regional cooperation in Central Europe.

Geographically, AustriaUngarit is set in Central Europe, spanning areas of the former Cisleithanian and Transleithanian lands. Major urban centers commonly featured include Vienna and Budapest, with other significant cities depending on the author’s scenario. The federation often adopts a bilingual and multilingual policy, recognizing German and Hungarian as official languages, with provisions for other minority languages.

Governance is usually depicted as a federal, liberal democratic system with a bicameral legislature and an executive headed by a chancellor or president. The constitutional framework emphasizes civil rights, language protections, and a shared security and economic policy.

Economy is presented as highly integrated, blending Austrian and Hungarian industries, services, and agriculture, commonly operating within the eurozone and benefiting from the Danube corridor for trade and transport. The culture reflects a synthesis of Austrian and Hungarian traditions, music, cuisine, and art.
