Can I suggest that we set this just on the brink of The Great War, If so we should work out the alliance groups.

SUMMARY:

The Lands of the Venetian Portions of the Empire of the Romans is a confederation of states, consisting of seven constituent states spread out across the Adriatic coast, Lower Germania and the Balkans.[1]

It was founded in 1700 upon the request of the Republic of Venice originally as an alliance against a growing threat of the Ottoman Empire, and originally included only the Republics of Venice, Trieste and Dubrovnik. However following the invasion of Moldova in 1708, gained the Duchies of Austria and Dalmatia as signatories for the sacking of Constantinople, an attempt that ultimately failed to achieve the goal of securing Constantinople but did deal significant damage to the Ottoman fleets.

The alliance gained Galicia following the Austrian invasion of the Princes of Galicia, disposing the former rulers to annex it to their realm. The alliance remained roughly stable in this form for a hundred years, each component state seeing fit to work together to hold off swiftly growing enemies aroiund them. It was slow consolidated into a trading league under Venetian hegemony during this period and in 1800 a central council was established to discuss matters of the alliance. The alliance reached its present form in 1850 with the collapse of the Crown of St Stephen due to the death of the ruling dynasty and a resulting succession squabble.

The War of the League of Five, where the Alliance intervened in the succession crisis of their neighbours, ended in the establishment of Austro-Dalmatian ruled Kingdom of Slavonia and independent states in Hungary, Transylvania and Serbo-Bosnia. While the later remained independent and staunchly nationalist, Hungary and Transylvania were forced to join the alliance after diplomatic pressuring from Austria, who feared an Ottoman invasion of Transylvania.

The alliance was formerly solidified by the Agreement of 1880, where the trading league and council were formalised with foreign affairs and military centralised under control of a Chancellor elected by the heads of state of the component countries. A shared currency was added in 1901, under pressure from the Venetians who wished to own the lucrative coining business.

Utilising their position as the richest partner in the alliance, having progressively greatly disadvantaged Trieste and Dubrovnik's trading power and forced the balkan states into debt, the Venetians negotiated the King of Austria - at that time greatly in debt to Venice - to surrender to the Kingdom of Dalmatia to the Venetians in return for the forgiving of debt. Slavonia was kept by the Austrians for the time, with Austrian Bosnia sold to Hungary not long after to finance rebuilding of the Austrian army.

Austria's control of Slavonia however did not last, ending soon after the Venetian Comprise, when Dubrovnik - fearing Venetian domination but not wanting to lose the alliance because of their vulnerability to the Ottomans - negotiated with the Austrians for a joint invasion of Trieste. They then alerted the Venetians to the supposed plot by the King of Austria to conquer Trieste, claiming they had been asked to support the invasion.

The Internal War followed, where Austria was invaded by Venice, Trieste, Dubrovnik and Transylvania (who had been promised Galicia in return). Hungary declared its neutrality, being involved at that time in a border dispute with Moldova.

Vienna was captured by Venetian forces just a year after the war was declared, and the Austrian King was captured and forced under duress to abdicate, handing over Slavonia to a joint Trieste-Dubrovnik government and Galicia to Transylvania. Istria was divided from the Kingdom of Austria and given to Trieste. The Venetian protested, but were unable to object without causing a new war and eventually agreed in return for Slovenian Littoral being separated from Austria and given to Venice, and Upper and Inner Carniola becoming part of the Kingdom of Dalmatia.

The victors however could not decided on a proper disbersment of Austria's territory to each of their own realms but fearing a resurgence if they left it, it was decided to dismember Austria into various puppet states. Vienna and Ljubljana were struck off as autonomous cities ruled by governments appointed by the alliance, the independent Principalities of Swiss Vorarlberg and Tyrolian Salzburg and Carinthia were formed, and to pay for the costs of the war Burgenland was sold to Hungary for 10,000 ducats. The remains of Austria were declared the Duchy of Austria Minor and granted to the von Kyba family of merchants from Trieste.

A year later the name of the confederation was changed to "The Lands of the Venetian Portions of the Empire of the Romans", still often called the Lands of the Romans for short or the Eight. The name was not met with enthusiasm by the other members of the alliance, but Hungary and Transylvania's king's agreed in return for payments from Venice and Trieste and Dubrovnik agreed in return for trading rights in Austria and Tyrol and Dalmatia respectively.

And this is the form the confederation presently stands today.

The little brown country to the south of Austria-Hungary (I.e. The Lands of the Venetian Portions of the Empire of the Romans) could be Yugoslavia.

The brown bloc on that map is a merger of Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, north-Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo. So its like half-Yugoslavia. You could play it as Greater Serbia and aim for the ''unification of Yugoslavia'', but then you'd have to ditch the Albanian provinces :3

Im also interested in this RP... have no idea what country though
