With a POD no earlier then 1795, have the Ottoman Empire represented as one of the "big powers" at the Congress of Vienna, or a similar "congress". The said congress should still involve a Napoleonic defeat(thus, he cannot be butterflied away), and adopt the balance of power as its main element. Austria, Prussia, Russia and Britain must also be represented as "big powers", although France need not be.

The OE must take part in the conference as a relative equal, and any peace terms should reflect that. Prefferably, the OE has its borders recognized and respected, as did other nations, as part of the terms-unlike OTL, when it was unclear where the Ottomans stood in regards to the BoP in Europe, and the status of the Christian lands they ruled over.

How could such a scenario be plausible? What effects would it have on the Ottomans and Europe in general?
