"Eastria"

in English ?

Huh

I think it would fit the German word ("Österreich" or "Eastern Realm") more and would avoid confusion with Australia.

And then we would forever have the confusion with Istria Smiley Then, again, Istria, at least, used to be Austrian Smiley

Austria, is, in fact, a real country with real history. Germany, on the other hand, being an artificial forced union of disparate states....

The translation of that word into English would be rich burger.  That sounds pretty good.  Let's call Austria Richburger.

"Rich" would actually be an incorrect translation of "Reich" in this context (and as for burger... well, I guess you know).
