How did the dual monarchy of Australia-Hungary function?

The dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, established in 1867, functioned as a complex political entity where the two distinct kingdoms—Austria and Hungary—maintained separate governments and administrative structures while sharing a common monarch, Emperor Franz Joseph I. Each kingdom had its own parliament and laws, but they were united under a single foreign policy and military command. This arrangement aimed to balance the diverse ethnic groups within the empire, although it often led to tensions and conflicts between the different nationalities. The dual monarchy ultimately struggled to maintain cohesion, contributing to its dissolution after World War I.
