A Fairer Paris Peace Conference - what would the borders be like?


So, I was bored one day and decided to improve the Treaties of Versailles, St.Germain, Trianon, and Neuilly (as one does), and here is the product. Note that this map depicts what a Paris Peace Conference that wanted to make Europe more ethnically representative place succeeding, and not a Paris Peace Conference that wanted to adjust the eastern European borders succeeding.

Major changes being that Austria-Hungary has lost a significant amount of land but is still in union (albeit a country of autonomous districts), Bulgaria and Romania have gained large amounts of land in the Balkans and Transylvania, respectively, the former Russian contries (plus some new ones) have been brought into being, but affecting their neighbours less-so.

Soke things you may not have noticed are that France has gained a little land in Alsace, and ditto with Italy in South Tyrol, taking small French and Italian zones. Germany has Luxembourg and parts of the Czech border. Belgium has also broken up, with Wallonia joining France and Flanders becomong its own "Flemish" thing.

This is my attempt at this, but I'd love to see yours also. Let's also bring up the questions of what would have had to happen in order for a less "allied bias", and what the implications of these changes would be (perhaps no WWII?). Do you think that removing Switzerland would be too bold, even for the time? Are the new ex-Russian states sensible? Discuss!

AND HERE'S MY NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION:
