Alternate future for Austria-Hungry

So what in your opinion would have happened in the AHE had WWI not broken out?

What do you think would have been the best way forward?

keep the dacians enslaved and move on to greece and constantinople

Federalization/constitutional monarchy under the Habsburgs (use the gold-n-black flag)

Federal bicameral legislature: upper is all nobility and religious leaders (like House of Peers), lower elected by proportional party list [I've thought about dolling out seats based off national populations from most recent census]

Federal government has authority over military/defence, finance/monetary policy, foreign affairs, key infrastructure that goes beyond states (i.e. rail, the Danube), and constitutional/criminal laws
have them meet in Budapest cause the building is aesthetic/right on the Danube, and it'll make the Magyars happy.

States should roughly follow the pattern of national populations outlined in the 'United States of Greater Austria' plan, but considering there's a lot of mixed areas, there would have to be compromises. either way, minority rights (especially language) have to be respected or you're gonna get civil war - the empire was a demographic clusterfuck
each state has its own legislature (unicameral) and a degree of autonomy like in other federal systems

integrate the military into one force. idk why there were still 2 separate armies AND a joint army in 1914. make sure at least the lower officers speak the language of the enlisted men.

other than that, just keep moving along with modernization in terms of technology, industry, communication systems, business, etc.
A-H was on a good trajectory. how to make this more regionally even (Galicia for instance was poor as fuck) would be challenge; but for instance Galicia had oil, so try and force companies to invest a certain amount of money where they made it?

i envision something of a supranational union, since there's multiple nationalities within the empire (and this should be recognized while discouraging secession), but with more power for imperial/central institutions unlike the EU

this was the IRL federalization plan I alluded to
the (mostly German) enclaves would have a lesser degree of autonomy within their respective states

also, another weird thing about A-H was there were separate citizenship (Austrian and Hungarian). scrap that, have just one.

Trialism. It was accepted in 1918 (and supported by heir of the throne, then deceased Franz Ferdinand) but that was obviously too late.

Or even Quadrupalism like in pic

Beat the shit out of hungary
Those bitchass niggas blocked every attempt made to save the empire

Hungary would rebel and try to separate if that was tried. It would be 1848 all over again but with better weaponry.
Federalization had support from the intellectuals of the other nations and from the Archduke but the Hungarians will fiercely oppose it.

This "Austro-Hungarian Reform Crisis" would also have geopolitical consequences.

>What do you think would have been the best way forward?
Kill all the Hungarians

hopefully they would've reformed it into a more federal empire

personally I blame Rita Faltoyano
