A different congress of Vienna

After browsing on wikipedia (while I should have been doing something else, I hope my boss doesn't read this forum) I noticed that there where a couple of scenarios for the Netherlands after the Napoleonic wars.
1. just the Netherlands
2. the Netherlands including the southern Netherlands (Belgium and Luxembourg)
3. the Netherlands including the southern Netherlands and the Rhineland
4. this one:

If the Southern Netherlands would stay (partially) French, the Northern Netherlands should be extended to the Nete River or probably the whole of Flanders. In this scenario also portions of Germany would become Dutch. Then the border would be the line Mechelen-Maastricht-Jülich-Cologne-Düsseldorf where it ends at the river Rhine.

So what if they used this plan? The Netherlands probably would have been more stable without the Walloons, so no Belgian revolution. I think that most German speaking parts could be Dutchafied, a most of it speaks a German dialect that resembles Dutch.

The problem in this scenario is that Prussia would lose lands it gained OTL. They must be compensated somehow. The question is how. Would they gain parts of Belgium? Liege and Luxembourg would seam most likely.

Another problem is that France gaininga large part of Belgium would be a lot stronger, something that the other countries wated to avoid. So would France lose other parts of France if they gain part of Belgium? What parts would they be? I was thinking of Lorrain, but maybe there are other parts.

So any comments?
 
Because I am at home now I decided to make a (crappy) map of how I think the Netherlands would look like.

Some thing like this? Still shabby map
Orange: the Kingdom of the Netherlands
Blue: France
Indigo: Prusia

Dono if France would be granted with teritorial expansion after years of conflict in which France was the agressor

They could remove terrorium other places maybe the entire Elsass-Lothringen, Franche Comte and Corsica.

Corsica surely. One wonders why it wasn't stripped from them OTL.

Parts of Elsace-Lorraine could go to Prussia in lieu of what they would've got from the Netherlands.

Not so sure about Franche-Comte. They've had that for a rather long time at this point, haven't they? 1668 or 1678, so well over a hundred years by then. And unless they want to give Austria an enclave way over there or Prussia or Switzerland more Frenchmen, independence is the only option, 'though not a very tenable one, IMO.
 
I think that if you give all of Flanders to the Netherlands, the eastern part of Wallonia (current day Belgian provinces of Liege and Luxembourg) and to Prussia the rest of Belgium isn´t that big. If you give Corsica to Savoy and Alsace-Lorraine to some German states (Lorraine to Prussia and the Alsace to Baden or something like that), I think that France still did have less territory than it had OTL after Vienna. Also the Belgian provinces, Luxembourg and (northern) Lorraine together, is probably enough compensation for Prussia. Together it is probably as big as the territories that go to the Netherlands.
