This is a good analogy. But Austrian part of the monarchy completley disintegrated, not just parts around Vienna. If we map that onto modern USA it would be like them scaling back to original 13 colonies.
By hinterland I was thinking really about the entire monarchy but especially the Austrian half. Much of the Austrian core realms remained but that wasn’t all that much to begin with. The 13 colonies would be an analogy, however they’d be much more viable than post WWI Austria.
