The Austro-Hungarian Empire was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty. Austria-Hungary was legally regarded as two equal and independent countries within its own country, but Austria-Hungary was generally viewed as the same political entity in the international community.
Austria-Hungary enjoys autonomy in the areas of legislation, administration, justice, taxation, customs, coinage, etc. The overall finance, diplomacy and national defense must be managed by the central government of the empire.
