- What is your nation's name? The Kingdoms and Lands in Reichsrath Represented, the Lands of the Holy Hungarian Crown of Saint Stephen and the Lands of the Bohemian Crown of Saint Wenceslaus (Short forms: The Holy Roman Empire; The Austro-Hungarian and Bohemian Monarchy; Austria-Hungary and Bohemia; The Imperial and Royal Monarchy)

- Have you ever applied to Pardes before? Yes

- Do you role play any other nations? The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

- How big is your nation (or colony, if applicable) in terms of population? What sort of population density/overall landmass are you looking for? 3.2 bn peeps, 251 peep per square km2, I expect to be moving at least 2 bn people to Pardes.

- Please Describe your nation. Beginning with the extensive reforms of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II., and the subsequent rebellions, sparking the third Austrian War of the 18th century, the Holy Roman Empire has been jammed in between it's Prussian neighbour and the benevolent dictatorship of the Russian Empire. Emperor Francis II./I. sought during the upheavals of the Napoleonic Wars to liberate his poor country from these yokes, thereof he authorized the most immense military reforms the Monarchy has yet seen during the early 19th century. Acquiring British arms and training, the ragtag Imperial and Royal Army learned English instead of the hundreds of languages then in use and unified into a respectable rival for the battered but ancient Prussian Army. The 19th century military reforms allowed the Monarchy to survive multiple incursions into its territory, survived the massive upheavals of 1848 intact, fought the Italians and Prussians to dreadful stalemates, and got into the 20th century with minimum territorial losses. In World War I the Monarchy in the central alliance was increasingly annoyed by the way Emperor William II was handling it and switched sides in 1917 when the casualties mounted and the United States added it's might to the Entente. In bloody struggles in Silesia the Army once again proved itself to be a capable force, closing the War that Should've Ended All Wars intact and a whole deal more prouder of itself.

In the Nazi era the Monarchy joined in the efforts to contain Hitler/the Monster Mk.2, but unsuccessful it saw it's Polish domains invaded by the German Army in 1939, sparking World War II.

Fighting to hold their lines against an armoured foe the Army retired to the Adriatic coasts, and watched in vain as their homeland was mostly overrun. With the dreadful manpower shortages and most of it's recruiting grounds taken by the enemy, the Imperial and Royal Armed Forces did something unprecedented in history. On the New Year's Day of 1942, they transitioned to equal military service and successfully held off the Prussians with allied aide. Then slowly, the steamroller of the old Russian Army turned the fortunes at the dreadful slaughter-battles of Stalingrad and Moscow. That steamroller pushed almost all before them, and with the help of the second front on Normandy, and the third in the Balkans and Italy, the Prussian Armed Forces were forced to surrender in 1948.

Since then, the Monarchy rebuilt with Marshall Aide, and reorganised into a Federal Parliamentary Democracy within a Constitutional Monarchy as known to this day. The equal service plan in World War II created a whole deal of distinguished female Air Arm pilots, and after the War, it was decided to consolidate all of them in their own command, the WITCH-Command as it became known. Taking only the very brightest of female cadets from the Academy, they are issued with the very very best the Monarchy can provide, and was an important part of Cold War air defence, and still is.
