Definitely had something in mind that's essentially a mixture of the the Versailles and Trianon treaties. Though instead of fragmenting Jodesia into a number of territorial divisions meant to finally empower minorities of the Jodesian territory long repressed by some overbearing regime, war reparations of sizable quantity were imposed and at least some portion of land, in and around Switzerland and the northernmost stretches of Italy, was acquisition to Franco-Iberia, in addition to, as you said, some African territory that likely would've occupied some portion of the modern People's Protectorate.

I like it. :)

For Jodesia, the aftermath of the Great War was also the coming of absolute power for the Keizer: the political instability and general insult of losing caused great dissatisfaction among the population, and the Rijksraad was ousted completely, later to be (partially) reinstated, leaving the previous Keizer with absolute power. Not sure how Franco-Iberia would feel about that whole situation (though probably negative), but maybe we could say that the outlying territories, furthest from the Keizer (ie: East and South), were particularly belligerent and unstable and the then-Keizer (Marmora) was actually seen as a responsible, calming influence, even if power became more centralised. That kinda justifies leaving Jodesia to sort its shit out on its own. Of course, when Marmora died and Maximor took the helm (eight years ago, IIRC), the peace had been too-well entrenched to jeopardise, even if he's not a man to be trusted further than he can be thrown. Depending on how much you want to involve yourself in this, Franco-Iberia could have actually tacitly encouraged or supported the centralisation of power, if they might now want to wring their hands over having made something of a monster.

Incidentally, uhh, what was the Great War, you know, about? :P
I did want to maybe work some stuff out with Shorticus, but realised that I had no idea who all of the parties were or what was even being fought over, which wasn't the best position to work from.
