Challenge: With a POD after 1792, make it so that Prussia annexes the Kingdom/Electorate of Saxony in 1815.

Belgium? Why not a Luxembourg, which would include German Confederation Belgium OTL. Then it would become annexed by Germany earlier, which would be helpful if this is supposed to be a Pro-German AHC. Is it possible that North-East Belgium and South-Eastern Belgium(German Confederation Belgium) would split for cultural reasons at Vienna? If not, then I guess a more German Belgium might become annexed by Germany.The wettis should recive compesation in some place...maybe they as symbolical kings of pretty small poland? maybe they got Spanish Netherlands with some french border region to create a 'Cordon sanitaire' against France if they try something stupid against germany(an early belgium, just one closer to germany that britain or france), the prussia can offer part of rhineland as compesation.
Prussia now is stronger in the east and can pull more easily their future plans of german union, and a 'belgium' with rhineland and part of the german confederation can pull some nice butterflies for 1848
Possible too, maybe exchanging luxemburg for Flanders(and with that in Dutch Hands, the british can be less warry if Burgundy/Belgium is not strong to keep it) and expanding some peripherical regions for creating the burgundry/belgium wettis kingdom. A belgium split would be the flanders country going to netherlands(more cultural closer even if a little more catholic) and keep wallonia, alsalce,luxemburg and part of rhineland as a 'burgundy-belgium' kingdom for give to the Wettis as compesation for SaxonyBelgium?

There was talk, AFAIK, at the Congress of Vienna, more of a territory swap than an annexation. The elector of Saxony would renounce the territories under his rule in a mainly Protestant region, to the king of Prussia. The king of Prussia would then renounce the Rhenish territory and the former Palatinate would be surrendered by Bavaria (which were predominantly Catholic) and the king of Saxony would become elector palatine king. Louis XVIII threw a spanner in the works by championing Saxony due to his mamma being a Saxon princess.
But it could've made for an interesting alt-German unification, with Prussia giving up the Rhineland's coal etc for the Saxon silver mines
