Austria votes to unite with Hungary

At the insistence of the Hungarians, Austria has carried out a referendum on the possible reunification of the two nations, under the Habsburg crown. The final count has almost been completed, but it is already clear that it is a landslide victory for the reunification camp. There have been ample reports of inconsistencies, voter fraud, and election-rigging, but Austrian officials have dismissed these allegations and have already begun to reform the administration into a regional government of the Hungarian state. Though the move is greatly welcomed by the Hungarian public, the political repercussions of the referendum will likely be felt keenly throughout Europe.
