History[]

Main article: History of Austria-Gustavo

The nation, also known as Austria-Gustavo, was established on 12 November 1918 by the 1918 Austro-Hungarian Compromise in the aftermath of the First World War. In its early days, the Nation built up the largest machine building industry of the world. Austria-Gustavo, as it was known at the time, also became the world's largest manufacturer and exporter of electric home appliances, electric industrial appliances and power generation apparatus for power plants.

Along with United States, France, and United Kingdom, the country was part of the Allied Powers in the years leading up to the Second World War.

In the late-1940s, Austro-Gustavo politics started to develop a tendency towards a democratic economy similar to much of Western World, which contributed to the country becoming part of the NATO and an important ally of the United States during and after the Cold War, despite it already turned into a constitutional monarchy regime in 1933.
