Was it all of Austria? I didn't want to give them credit for a small portion.

Ahead of the USSR for second among the Obsolete states is the Roman Empire, sneaking past the USSR with 23. The biggest contributor to Rome's medal count was Gaul, or "France". Aside from that, Italia, Illyria and Britainia are the other contributors to Rome's medal count, and if not for Diocletian's building a palace in Croatia, I would probably not have remembered to count them as part of Illyria or Dalmatia or whatever they were back then, which meant I had to lump in Slovenia as well, and since Amy Williams is apparently English, I let them have her, too.
So you would need to add Austria's 16 and Switzerland's 9. Austria, then Noricum, was a part of the Roman Empire from the late 1st century BCE. Switzerland became a part of the Empire even earlier, roughly mid 1st century BCE.
I basically decided to stick with the Romanized lands, as Austria Switzerland and Germany are not traditionally considered part of the Latin sphere, even though the Romans pentrated past the Rhine at times. I thought giving them all of Austria & Belgium might be claiming too much based on Rome having a mere part.

Be careful about including Yugoslavia in the Austro-Hungarian counts.

Well I wouldn't have put them in. I meant the nations of Yugoslavia in my post.

I think they get Kahzakstan's one. They didn't get enough of Poland or Russia to claim their medals
