Liechtenstein is the fourth smallest nation in Europe. It was the last European country to give women the right to vote, passed with 51.3% in a referendum in 1984 where only men were allowed to participate. It has no army. They use the CHF as currency.

Ja, Entschuldigung für meinen schwerwiegenden Fehler, bitte geh mit dem Mitbürger des Merkelreich. Jeder weiß, dass Österreich im Vergleich zum echten deutschen Staat minderwertig ist! Deutschland über alles!

I was actually pretty aware of this. It would made Austria better in war because then their generals wouldn't be incompetent and there would be a larger majority of Germans, but the country would still suffer from the Balkan separatist groups.

Well the incompetence of the generals came from Franz Josef. It would have been a downer for all. Historic austrian generals were actually pretty competent (Daun, Laudon, Eugen of Savoya, Wallenstein, Starhemberg etc), as long as they were not in place due to Habsburg misrule.
