What's happening in Central Europe? Have any states been able to break away from the old Russian Empire? If so, which, and with what borders? Have the Germans grabbed any land in the East, or are there now buffer states between them and the USSR?
How are minorities being treated, and how are they behaving? if, for example, Poland is still being ruled by the Germans, Austrians and Soviets then are they accepting of this or is there simmering resentment which could lead to anything from street protests or occasional acts of terror to outright rebellion. Or this could have happened in the past and been repressed?
Also, is Germany a nationalistic state, or have they moved back to the older Prussian model?
Incidentally, it could be interesting to read "When William Came" by Saki- written before WW1 it imagines Britain under German occupation and makes for a very interesting read, not least for the manner in which many parts of the population get on surprisingly well with their occupiers.
I imagine that the peace between Germany and the new USSR is secured by a similar treaty to Brest-Litovsk, with a buffer zone of neutral states between the two - although the buffer would be rather closer to Moscow than to Berlin I think.
