Also accept Franz Josef? There is a town (and glacier) of that spelling in the South Island of New Zealand, which is named after this emperor.

Austria was not joined with Hungary exactly. It was Austrian empire before and it become Austria-Hungary. So one monarchy become dual monarchy because Hungary was strong part of the Austrian empire in that period of time.

Fun Fact: "The sound of music" is far more popular in the USA than in Austria itself! I've never seen it, and I had never even heard about it in my youth.

That's crazy. Parts of the 1965 film was filmed in Salzburg. I went there a few years ago and toured many of the filming locations!

Actually partitioned country was Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so answers like Lithuania or Rzeczpospolita should be accepted

I'm sure a lot of us are wondering why Rzeczpospolita wasn't accepted. :)
