Is this some kind of Austro-Burgundian-Spanish Personal Union? Pretty neato

This looks cool. A good point of divergence for this could be no extinction of the Spanish line, and a possible union later.

A POD during the War of the Spanish Succession could help too - Leopold I and Joseph I die on schedule, but the Austrian side ultimately wins with Emperor Charles VI becoming Charles III of Spain.
Especially since Vienna is the capital of the entire demesne.

Considering the borders of Spain and Italy, can I take it that France might not have Corsica in this?

No, france was able to retain its control over Corsica.

Why is Luxembourg independent? And where is the Prince-Bishopric of Liège? And why is there a border through Brabant?

hmmm... well I think you admittedly got me on that one, its been so long I've forgotten lol. Although i may revise that, Annexation of Luxembourg into the empire would seem far more likely than its retaining its independence.
(There's going to be a lot of ASB after this point)
Although at the time, i think (emphasis on "I think") i had reasoned that it was primarily to keep the peace between France, Prussia, and Austria. If Austria had outright annexed it into the United Habsburgian Netherlands, it could have been cause for conflict.
Well as for the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, the revolution succeeded, and it became a republic. Upon the defeat of Napoleon, the Republic was a put under the occupational authority of the Habsburgs, who instate a Pro-Habsburg Leader for the republic. Several years later, the Liege Republic, and Greater Habsburg Empire sign the Treaty of Liege, officially recognizing the Republic's incorporation into the empire.
The occupation of the Habsburgian Netherlands, the southern half (belgium) found itself under a strict policy of Frenchification by Napoleon. And that carried itself into the reunification in the post Napoleonic era within the Greater Habsburg Empire. Under the Ethnic Equality and Freedoms act of 1625, effectively cooling the rising ethnic tensions around the empire, and eventually lead the the re-organization of several inner-territorial borders. Brabant found itself divided between the dutch speakers in the North, and the Francophoners in the south. And sense it could not overrule imperial authority, found itself split and dismantled into new reorganized provinces (those provinces are not shown because of the smaller governmental level).
Probably not that good of an explanation, but i hope it answered your questions to an extent.

Madrid as the judicial capital would be appropriate, considering the amount of Spanish colonial territory held in South America.

Ok, thank you for the input. I was hesitant to mark Madrid as the Judicial capital because i was afraid its distance from Budapest and Vienna was to great to have a strong involvement in the government.

There's also the possibility that other powers like France or Germany would likely set up their own EUs to counteract their Austrian rivals.

Nice map. We never think much of Hasburg as a major power these days. Thanks for giving then a look-in!

Thanks, its always interesting to see how things "could have been," especially with the Habsburgs and all the connections they had.

The emperor of Brazil in the nineteenth century was a Bragança-Hashburg-Lorraine, Dom Pedro II, son of Dom Pedro I (In Portugal «Dom Pedro IV»), and his wife of Hashburg-Lorraine, Maria Leopoldine Josepha Caroline von Österreich, (daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph Karl Ⅰ & Ⅱ).
