Austria, at its start, is a Catholic Austrian imperial march of the HRE located in the eastern provinces of the South Germany region, of the Western Europe subcontinent. The monarchy emerges from Catholic Bavaria and Bohemia lands in 976, with cores, bordering fellow Catholic Carinthia south, Bavaria west and Bohemia north, Tengri Hungary east and the waters of Lake Neusiedl east.
Austria will become the Emperor of the HRE multiple times, first between December 9, 1437 and 1452, November 24, 1457 and January 12, 1519, January 16, 1556 and December 22, 1740, and 1765 and July 12, 1806, with the last term as Emperor ending with dissolving of the HRE.
Austria will be annexed by Secular Germany on March 12, 1938, break from Germany on May 8, 1945, join the European Union in 1995 and is on-map to the present day.

Present Day[]
Although the days of the Holy Roman Empire are long and gone, you are in the European Union instead! This means that your old Austrian ideas that helped you in the HRE will help you once again in the EU! The strategy remains similar to a regular Austrian strategy, and that is: focus on diplomat means for expanding the country (this doesn't you mean you can't expand aggressively, of course!) By doing this you can get closer and closer to forming a centralized European nation state, far more power than the old HRE would have ever been!
