===Pachaug reorganized===
In the weeks and months following the end of the rebellion, deliberations and negotiations regarding the future of the Pachoy state occurred in Pachaug and Port St. Charles. On 20 August, as a matter of course, the Communal Council unanimously voted to amend the charter assuming for itself full control of the charter city, abolishing the Urcean supervisory system. The Council also voted to remove the requirement for all charter amendments to be unanimous as a prelude to a future final settlement, and for the time being the charter remained in place as the transitional basis of self-government in Pachaug. Throughout September, a basic framework was established for the future of the Pachoy state: it would join the ethnically similar [[Chenango Confederacy]] as the ''Fourth Republic'', one of its federal units, at a time to be determined in the future. International opinion had shifted decidedly against an independent Pachoy state throughout August and September, and membership and integration into the Confederacy had been a popular option among moderates during the pre-war period. For an indeterminate time, Pachaug would continue to operate on the provisional charter basis and would be under military occupation by the Confederacy, before it was finally admitted to it on 1 July [[2033]].

Significant attention was given to the issue of those who had participated in the rebellion. By the end of October, a general pardon was issued except for anyone who had: A. Been a member of the provisional government, or; B. Had participated in the execution of a hostage. This decision functionally rehabilitated a tenth of the entire Pachoy population, allowing a period of healing to go forward. The 3 remaining members of the provisional government - one of which had been a member of the pre-rebellion Communal Council - were sentenced to death. All three were executed by firing squad on the morning of 1 December. Several of the high-profile prisoners of the rebellion, including Mikaere Arono, were not pardoned nor executed, but instead were sentenced to live in a penal colony in [[Otisco]]. Several individuals who were pardoned but were either related to these prisoners or were loyal to them followed them to Otisco, establishing a settlement of Arononia named for Arono.

In December 2032, as healing and reconciliation were becoming the primary concern within Pachoy society, the Communal Council adopted a new flag, integrating elements of both the traditional flag and the "Blue Flag" to symbolize both parts of the country coming together to work towards a common future.
