Venilet-Hungaria, also known as the Venilan-Hungarian Empire, the Dual Monarchy or the k.u.k. Monarchy, or Dual State, was a monarchic union between the crowns of the Venilan Empire and the Kingdom of Hungaria in Central CP. The union was a result of the Ausgleich or Compromise of 1867, under which the Venilan House of Habsburg agreed to share power with the separate Hungarian government, dividing the territory of the former Venilan Empire between them. The Dual Monarchy existed for 51 years until 1918, when it was dissolved following military defeat in the First World War.
