NNN, for map-scorching fun!

Knowing your interest in the Napoleonic Wars, a totally ignored what if, concerns the frictions at the Congress of Vienna.
At the roundtable of the victors, Russia and Prussia felt they could both come out ahead by working together. Their two armies were all that really counted to the sovereigns. Austria was always an also-ran and was broke by then. England had a fleet, but not a big enough army, and there was no one else.
IIRC Russia would get Poland, and Prussia Saxony. They confidently believed their position was too strong.
However, Metternich, Talleyrand, and Castlereigh, the foreign ministers of Austria, France, and England, were totally opposed, and the threat of these three working hand in glove and of Europe being in another devastating set of wars, got Russia and Prussia to back down.
Still, the wars could have been a lot of fun.
