Neutral Moresnet keeps independence in a matter akin to Andorra

What if Neutral Moresnet was able to diplomatically appeal to Belgium to continue their self governance following World War One? Instead of a condominium, they would become a protectorate of Belgium.

What might the effects of a de facto independent Neutral Moresnet be on Europe, Esparanto, and Belgium? Might we eventually see a fully independent Neutral Moresnet as the attitude towards colonies shifts?
 
You need to have Belgium be less interested in annexing the area and the Esperantist traction to be way higher, enough that a separate identity starts forming; the effects on the Esperanto moviment are already a big enough difference.
