The Autrichean Uprising is an ongoing insurgency and uprising instigated by Autrichean sympathisers in western Illusia and Neverendia. It is fought between the Southeast Anean nations of Illusia and Neverendia and Memester, against the unrecognised monarchy known as the Principality of New Illuverendia.

Autrichean resistance in Illuverendia has been ardent, but otherwise discreet, and had its grassroots at the end of the Illuverendian Revolution. The resistance aimed to bring back the Autrichean monarchy back into Enigmastadt; their objectives changed variously as years passed, with the aims to topple the post-Ekelepoche Illuverendian Republic, at first. During the Stratocratic period, a large number of the resistance were purged by Schwarzbrigade divisions through a secret operation simply known as the Purification. This prompted many to go into hiding even further, and thus the resistance went further underground, with others doing operations in neighbouring Memester.

When the Alyssanian period began, the resistance became much more vocal again, and rejected Alyssa's rule at first, but eventually tried a more peaceful approach into their campaign. Many Autrichean sympathisers campaigned to clear the name of Priscilla d'Autriche, and when she died in 2055, many of the sympathisers campaigned for her to be buried in the Royal Mausoleum, which was a huge subject of controversy, and sparked the 2055 Enigmastadt shootouts, where Autrichean sympathisers engaged with the city's constabulary, and lost.

Realising that peaceful plans were not going to work, royal pretender Leonard Spencer d'Autriche, a hardline Autrichean sympathiser, named himself as the successor to Priscilla, and on the early hours of 26 October 2056, Maithwaite was taken over, and other neighbouring cities. This sparked the first battles of the Autrichean Uprising, in which both sides- the New Illuverendian side being called Autricheans, and the royal government being called Alyssanians.

On the first stages of the uprising, the United Kingdom of Illusia and Neverendia lost Maithwaite, Gloucester, Praetaum, and Lewistown. Allenes and Hennewick fell soon after, but then the Royal Illuverendian Armed Forces and the Schwarzbrigade (SB) launched three attacks deep within Autrichean territory- notably the precision bombing in Maithwaite, and two attacks in Beylough, specifically the attack on the hamlet's factory outlet and the Beylough railway sabotage. In these daring operations, the SB also evacuated the hamlet.

The attacks on Beylough also unveiled horrifying atrocities within the Autrichean side: multiple Beylough citizens were enslaved to produce the Panzer NG-2 tanks in the captured Westlander factory, alongside a number of defenceless civilians that were murdered. The discovery prompted the SB to quickly evacuate the hamlet. The genocide shocked and infuriated the Illuverendian nation, and prompting neighbouring Memester to intervene, which was granted. Public opinion against the Autrichean regime and the sympathisers extremely plummeted, with many calling for the execution of the sympathisers and their collaborators.

Counteroffensives began on the 29th, with Illuverendian troops entering Allenes, Hennewick, and Gloucester. In Allenes, an Illuverendian-Memesterian force encountered the aftermath of the Massacre of Allenes.
