Which country has or had the most beautiful borders?
For me it's Austria-Hungary.
I may be German by paper, but would consider myself as Austrian-Hungarian by heart.

People didn't really care about that until the rise of nationalism in the 19th century. It literally didn't matter for almost a millenium.
Some people thought granting their national cultures and languages full protection by the constitution would make them chill but you see where this has brought has.

Are you dense? The reforms you have mentioned never went into efrect. They were about to go but then the assassination happened and AH lost the war but even then the ceasar begged the representatives of newly formed natuons to stay willing to offer all sorts of concessions but our guy was Anton Korošec told him to fuck off saying: "Too little too late."

If anyone wanted to germanize you they likely would have succeeded after you being part of the empire for 500 years don't you think?
They put it into writing in the 19th century.

You did try to Germanise us, what are you talking about?!
Slovenian language was not allowed to be used as an official one (school, documents etc.)
>A-H
joke that went too far, if Italy had full blown war against A-H both sides would lose

Yep, not as an official one because noone wanted to force all civil servants to learn the 20 different languages of the empire. That's not germanization. Germanization would be complete removal of all aspects of your culture.
