Austria-Hungary Effect

A psychological effect in which the victim is manipulated into thinking that the fake flag is the real and therefore the correct flag of a certain country. The name comes from the infamous Wikipedia edit war where users have deliberately put the civil-ensign flag of Austria-Hungary as the national flag even though Austria-Hungary didn't have the national flag.
I'm so sorry to hear that you have the Austria-Hungary Effect.

He thinks that the flag with a Kangaroo is the real flag of Australia, He probably has the Austria-Hungary Effect.

My students have recently complained about the flag I drew and said that it was not real. After some research, I discovered that this flag was never used and was made by some fan on r/vexillology. I have experienced the Austria-Hungary Effect.

Sir, given that the flag you saw was not real and you have been manipulated for years, you are diagnosed with the Austria-Hungary Effect.
