Austria
A mostly mountainous region due the alps, Austria is home to the kingdom's capital, Vienna, the royal family, and the royal palace. If Austria were to be taken in battle, it would be a crushing blow to the royal family, but the terrain is so treacherous that the idea is almost proposterous. The mountains do flatten out into foothills and plains eventually however, still making it tricky to negotiate the geography but perhaps not so impossible.
Hungary
The landscape is comprised of mostly flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian basin, with hills and small mountains bordering the Slovakian territory. A large river, the Danube, cuts Hungary in half, and serves as an important trade mechanic as Hungary has no sea access. Among important cities to capture in Hungary is Budapest, a sprawling city that helps keep the economy in a healthy cycle through trade and academia.
Slovakia
Much like its cousin, Austria, Slovakia is littered with mountain ranges, with lowlands being found in the southwestern and southeastern parts of the region. The mountains here, some of which are called the Tatra mountains, are home to scenic valleys and lakes.
Czech
Compared to the previous three territories, the Czech landscape is actually rather varied, housing a basin surrounded by low mountains in the west, and hills in the east. Several rivers flow freely through Czech, draining out into the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the North Sea.
Serbia
The terrain of Serbia ranges from the rich, fertile plains of the Vojvodina region and the limestone ranges and basins to the east to the ancient mountains and foothills in the south.
Bulgaria
The southwest of the region is mountainous and home to two alpine ranges-Rila and Perin, and the much more prominent Rhodope mountains a little lower. Bulgaria's name was derived from the Balkan mountains which openly run through its center.
Romania
A large part of Romania's borders with Bulgaria and Serbia forms the Danube Delta, which seems to have a connection with almost every region in Austria-Hungary. It is an important trade tool, and were it to be seized it is likely Romania's economy would crumble. In the center of Romania are the Carpathian mountains, though the territory surrounding them are mostly hilly and low. Important cities to capture would be Bucharest.
Ukraine
Perhaps the only region that severely varies from the rest of Austria-Hungary, Ukraine has mostly steppes and plateaus crossed by multiple rivers. In fact, the only mountains Ukraine has are the Carpathians to the east, making the region very distinct from the empire it's apart of. Kiev would be the key city in Ukraine to capture, as it has been around for hundreds of years now and has become a center of history and culture in Ukraine.
