Danubian Federation
Danubia, officially The Danubian Federation (German: Donaubund), is a central European nation situated primarily along the upper watershed of the Danube River. It is a federation of nine federal republics and two federal cities, one of which is the capital of Vienna. In addition to the national core surrounding the Danube, Danubia encompasses the Federal Republic of Illyria, composed of several Ionian Islands and the Illyrian Littoral stretching from the Bay of Kotor to Lake Skadar. Danubia is bordered to the south and west by the European Republic and to the west by the Paris Commune. It occupies an area of 498,951 km2 and has a population of more than 77 million.
Danubia is the successor to the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy that followed it. The Archduchy of Austria was formed in 1453 CE under the House of Habsburg, originally members of the Swiss nobility. In the 16th century, the Austrian capital of Vienna became an important administrative center for the Holy Roman Empire as the Habsburgs collected an impressive portfolio of feudal titles, including the Duchy of Bavaria, Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Holy Roman Empire itself. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Habsburgs were defeated by Napoleonic forces multiple times and their dominions split between short-lived sister republics of France. Habsburg dominions were reconstituted at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, which marked the end of the Napoleonic Era.
The Habsburg Monarchy underwent dramatic changes during the Revolutionary Waltz of 1848 CE - 1851 CE. The faction known as the Black Habsburgs under Emperor Charles Leopold I von Habsburg-Lorraine settled the conflict and promulgated the Federal Declaration of October 15, dramatically reorganizing the Habsburg domains. Following the Great War, the nation was reorganized once again with the Constitution of 1921 establishing the First Republic of the Danubian Federation. Danubia was occupied by fascist forces beginning in 1934 with the assistance of far-right reactionary organizations within Danubia, which formed the Großösterreich puppet regime. Widespread resistance and civil disobedience characterized much of Danubia during the Second Great War. After the fall of the fascist regime and a thorough purge of fascist sympathizers, the unified resistance proclaimed the Second Republic and reinstated the Constitution of 1921.
Danubia is a Representative Federal Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy with a popularly-elected Palatine serving as Head of State and a Chancellor, the Donaukanzler, acting as Head of the Government and chief executive. Major urban areas include Vienna, Munich, Budapest, Krakow, Zagreb, and Prague. Danubia possesses a robust economy dominated by finance, iron and steel manufacturing, aeronautics, forestry, luxury manufacturing, and public-sector industries. Since the Second Great War, Danubia has maintained a broad suite of social programs. Indicators such as HDI, Gini, and GDP per capita are consistently high in the Danubian Federation. Since 1964, Danubia has been a global leader in renewable energy production.
