United States of Greater Austria

Gryffindor and I would like to improve this article, but right now, we don't really know what else to add (besides a map, but we'd need to have someone else do that). Any ideas are appreciated! ナイトスタリオン ✉ 06:30, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that strikes me is that Hungarians and others might have considered this a divide and rule-type strategy to maintain the power of the ethnic German aristocracy– I would like more on their reaction. Also, weren't there some other alternative proposals at the same time to reorganize Austria-Hungary? Another question is what was the historical development of the idea in the eight years between Popovici's initial proposal and the Archduke's assassination? Another aspect: Was the idea directly inspired by the federalism of the United States of America– this should be detailed. We should also have more details on the proposed language and cultural status of each province. One other thing alludes me- who are the "other nine" ethnic groups besides the Germans and the Hungarians?--Pharos 20:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to get all that done after the holidays, when I should be able to get one or two reference books from either the Universitätsbibliothek or the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek. For now, I've added the nine other ethnic groups, and I'm trying to get someone to make a map. Further comments are, of course, appreciated! And thanks to you, Pharos. ^N_i^g_h^t_s^t_a^l_lⁱ_oⁿ ✉ 06:39, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. You can surely add more references, especiallay academic one - this surely looks like a topic that would be mentioned in academic sources (use inline citations, please). On a related note, we need a new category - perhaps something along the lines of Category:Proposed countries, as Category:Fictional countries is not really for states that were at least considered in real life (see also Międzymorze, Polish-Lithuanian-Muscovite Commonwealth, Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 12:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A good start, I like the flag. You'll need to elaborate a bit though to get it to featured status. The first thing when I saw this was the United States of Whatever. karmafist 20:00, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
please confirm the flag. the real one afaik was the black/yellow. and: are you sure bukowina was supposed to be part of transsylvania? i'm sure it was supposed to be a federal state of it's own, maybe in later editions. will there be a German translation? 7 October 2006
