At the Congress of Vienna, Prussia originally wanted to annex all of Saxony, while Russia wanted most of Poland. Prussia supposedly had little to no desire or need for the then insignificant territories of the future Rhine Province, and was happy to give up land there and elsewhere for the chance to annex Saxony. In the end, Russia and Prussia did not get all of what they wanted because they were forced to back down by the other powers.

Is there any way we can end up with a treaty wherein the Prussian and Russian desires are realized, preferably at the negotiation table rather than on the battlefield?

If so:
1) Would the King of Saxony receive any sort of compensation? (A new Kingdom of Saxony in Westphalia?)

2) Assuming it's settled at the negotiation table, what could Austria demand as compensation for the loss of Galicia? (Bavaria?)

3) Who would receive the territories of the OTL Rhine Province if not Prussia? (Austria didn't want them)


Any plausible PoD ideas for such an outcome would also be welcome.
