Morphology

republic + of + Austria

The phrase is fully compositional: knowing 'republic' (a state governed by representatives) and 'Austria' lets a learner infer it denotes Austria as a republic. The formal genitive pattern 'Republic of X' is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand this MWE.

Etymology

Republic of Austria comes from two ideas: Austria comes from an old word meaning 'eastern realm', and Republic was added when the country left rule by a king to mean a 'state without a king'. So the name shows it is the present country of that eastern region with no king.
