New Austrio-Hungarian Monarchy is a small micronation located in the town of Érmihályfalva, in the heart of Transylvania, Romania. Founded in 2023, the micronation is the result of a revival movement that aimed to renew the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and create a new type of governance that emphasizes cooperation and collaboration between nations. The micronation is home to a diverse group of people from all over Europe, including Austria, Hungary, Romania, and other countries. Its founders envisioned New Austria-Hungary as a model for a new type of European community, one that emphasizes the cultural and political similarities between different nations and seeks to find common ground in shared values and traditions.
History
Early History
The formation of New Austria-Hungary in Érmihályfalva is a remarkable moment in European history. It represents a unique attempt to revive the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, which was dissolved at the end of World War I, and to create a new type of governance that emphasizes cultural unity and political diversity. The revival movement that led to the formation of New Austria-Hungary began in the early 2020s, in response to growing dissatisfaction with the current state of European politics and governance. A group of historians, political activists, and cultural leaders came together in Érmihályfalva, a small town in Transylvania that was once the part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to explore the possibility of renewing the monarchy. Their goal was to create a new type of governance that would bridge the cultural and political differences between different nations and regions, while still respecting the unique identities and traditions of each. They believed that the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, with its emphasis on cooperation and collaboration, could serve as a model for this new type of governance. Over time, the movement gained support from people across Europe, including Austria, Hungary, and other countries. Its leaders organized a series of conferences, cultural events, and educational programs aimed at promoting awareness of the Austro-Hungarian legacy and the potential benefits of a renewed monarchy. In 2023, the movement took a significant step forward with the formation of New Austria-Hungary. The community, located in Érmihályfalva, was established as a model for a new type of European governance, with a monarch serving as a symbolic head of state and a council of representatives from different nations and regions serving as the actual governing body.
Politics and government
Structure
The government of New Austria-Hungary is unique in its structure, reflecting the principles of cultural unity and political diversity that underpin the community. At the top of the hierarchy is the monarch, who serves as a symbolic head of state and represents the unity and continuity of the Austro-Hungarian legacy. The monarch is chosen through a traditional selection process that emphasizes merit, expertise, and public service. The actual governing body of New Austria-Hungary is the Council of Representatives, which is composed of elected officials and appointed experts from different nations and regions. The council is responsible for making policy decisions, managing public affairs, and ensuring the smooth functioning of the community. It operates on the principles of consensus-building and consultation, with members working together to find common ground and promote the common good. The council is supported by a range of administrative and advisory bodies, including a cabinet of ministers, a civil service, and a network of experts and consultants. These bodies provide specialized knowledge and expertise in areas such as economics, law, education, and culture, helping to ensure that New Austria-Hungary can meet the diverse needs and interests of its residents. One of the key features of the government of New Austria-Hungary is its commitment to subsidiarity, which means that decisions are made at the most local level possible. This reflects the belief that communities know best how to govern themselves, and that power should be devolved to the lowest level possible in order to ensure maximum participation and engagement. This principle is reflected in the community's decentralized structure, with local councils and committees playing a key role in decision-making and governance.
