Make all the jokes you want about the “ramshackle empire” but it worked better than the EU.

100 years without legitimist monarchy is enough. Lots of Hapsburgs still around, a loose confederation of the former lands could work better than the EU.

Actually, a loose confederation of bakeries and cafes could work better than the EU.

Add Poland to the empire and start building walls to keep the Islamists and leftists out.
