Monarchy to return to Austria?

[Otto Prohaska]

They want to restore hereditary monarchy to central European countries but Croatia dose not really have a monarchy left? I mean sure we have some parts of the nobility left as we can see on this site http://plemstvo.hr/ but who would be king of Croatia?

I am unfamiliar with the state of the Slovenia monarchy so I will ask a few of the Slovenes to contribute.

They want one monarch for all of those states.

You even quoted them saying so:

The Black-Yellow Alliance calls for the reintroduction of hereditary monarchy in Central Europe and advocates a union of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Slovakia, united under a common emperor.

Žołnir correctly points out their goal for accession to the throne of a Croatian state:

If we count current Croatia as full succesor of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom...oatia-Slavonia then i would say Habsburgs would be first in line to become kings ofc. at least from heridetary point of view.

That would be interesting. Being neibourgh with monarchy. Well what would be they striving for? I bet something like Otto von Habsburg did. Which means pro-EU, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...european_Union

Probably, yes, vis-à-vis Habsburg's "On Monarchy in the Atomic Age" and "The Social Order of Tomorrow: State and Society in the Atomic Age".

Well I am either a twit or such a genius that I answer my own questions.

This is how the proposed Black-Yellow monarchy would look

As for Slovenia if we link current state with Carniola (which is dubious since much of current SLO was also Styria, Gorizia, etc.) then they can become our dukes. However i sincerly don't think monarchic ideology would have much support among ppl these days altho in media i read many Slovenes want us to become part of Austria. That is much more probable than monarchy. LuLz

That would be interesting, Croats would be closer to central Europe at least. Lol. On a serious note, I am not sure what the Slovenian people would gain with a unification, except the loss of national Identity and Sports teams.

Well from tourist prespective and PR for Austria constitutional monarchy would fuel in the money i guess but if i were into that i would expect a monarch to be more active in diplomacy, etc. than lets say British monarchs. The monarchs most logical title from traditionalist point of view would be Archeduke of Austria. And from Slovene minority prespective i would expect them to re-create old Carinthian enthronement ceremonial which was ended after Ernest the Iron. Ok thats dreaming i know. I am not expert on Austrian politics but i have a gut feeling not many Austrians would support monarchy.

I dont think Slovenes would lose their national identity or sports teams. If I understand correctly, the proposition is a United Kingdom type. So Slovenia would be like Wales or Scotland, who still have their own sports teams, identity, autonomy, etc, but still retain their language.

If this came to pass it would represent a shift of power, the Black-Yellow monarchy would be the 6th most populous country in the EU.

But such a region would be heaven on earth.
Alps, Carpathians, Dinaric Alps, Adriatic coastline, plains, what more do you want

Imo it won't happen however, at least i doubt it. Many ppl are saying this in the context of serious political problems we have atm and the fact Austria is fairing well economically while we have huge issues in this departement. From the serious point of view if it would happen i am sure there would probably be consesus on certain things like sports teams like Scotland has it's own football team for example. However as i say i doubt in that to happen + we worked far to much on creation of our own state and Slovenes must learn to be good political nation once and for all. For now we are still learning, ofc. Besides for most part SLO and AUT are firiendly nations but i definetly see option of having more joint political dealings.
