I'm not aware of any nickname for modern Austria. However, in imperial Austria almost everything pertaining to the empire was called kaiserlich koeniglich (which means imperial royal). It was usually abbreviated k.k. which was used even more widely than H.M. in Britain. So the headmaster (principal) of a grammar school was a k.k. Gymnasialdirektor, the Technical University of Prague was the k.k. Technische Hochschule zu Prag - and so it went on. (Things pertaining to both the Austrian and Hungarian parts of the empire were k. und k.). Not surprisingly, some people found this amusing, and the Austrian author Robert Musil (1880-1942) is credited with coining the word Kakanien for imperial Austria.
