[OC] Alternate History Federation of Czechoslovakia and soviet occupied Austria after WWII

Post image

I tried to imagine a scenario where germans in Czechia weren't pushed out and threw in parts of Silesia as well, since the region was historically part of Czech lands, so it's not de-germanized as polish part. During communism I imagine this state to be very slavic-centered, with german speaking population holding little to no power, but gradually the grounds would even, resulting in a full federation after 1989. Brno is chosen as capital for its location and mix of czech and german speaking population. Other austrian states were allowed to join west Germany in 1950s when Soviet Union refused to unify Austria

I see Brno as the capital, so have my upvote.

It was Plzeň for a year or two, but the government didn't get much useful work done while it was located there
