 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joseph II
Joseph viewed with jealous discontent the intellectual superiority of the Protestant North of Germany, then first dominant over the Catholic South: he also reflected with chafing impatience on Frederick's victories and talent for government, and thence conceived a definite aim in life.
Joseph was the father of Josephinism, which is nothing else than the highest development of the craving common among secular princes after an episcopal and territorial church.
Joseph's entire policy was the embodiment of his idea of a centralized empire developing from within and in which all public affairs, political and ecelesiastico-political, were treated as an indivisible whole.

 In Honor of Franz Joseph by Carlo Stagnaro
Austria’s soul is not the centre, it is the periphery.
Franz Werfel once said that "nation-states are demoniac units by their own essence." For this reason, the Austrian novelist celebrated the wisdom of the Austrian Empire, pointing out the impossibility (in Vienna, Prague or Budapest) of creating a mystic and romantic idea of the nation-state.
Significantly enough, Franz Joseph was always opposed to the anti-semitic movement of Karl Lueger, the Christian-Socials: "any anti-semitic movement should be halted at its birth." He repeatedly vetoed Lueger’s election as Mayor of Vienna, showing how the "absolute" power of the Emperor was less absolute, and far less dangerous than the power of democratic bodies.

Franz had been speaking mostly Czech as a child (owing to the fact that his governesses were Czech), but learned to master the German tongue early, as reflected in his wonderful handling of it in his stories.
Franz seems to have suffered from the malady common to many at that place and time: namely, the virgin/whore complex, where every woman is either a "nice girl" or a slut, with no room in between.
Franz gave it to his mother so that she would give to him, but after looking at it she thought better of it.) Nevertheless, Franz went so far as to pick out an apartment for him and Julie and came within a couple of days of the wedding before breaking it off.

 WHKMLA : History of Austria : Domestic Policy, 1867-1893
In 1867 Emperor Franz Joseph I. signed the AUSGLEICH (compromise) with Hungary, granting the Hungarian parliament full authority in all political areas except foreign policy and defense; in effect, the Habsburg lands were, from 1867 onward, divided in a Hungarian half and a less clearly defined Austrian half, sometimes referred to as CISLEITHANIA.
Franz Joseph I. was concerned about the German liberals and for some time toyed with the idea of granting concession to the Czechs of Bohemia.
Franz Joseph conceded an extension of the franchise, which broke the German majority in the Bohemian diet; the Czech demands however were too radical to him (and were also strongly opposed by the Hungarians); the negotiations were abruptly broken off (1868) and the plan laid ad acta.
