The Rebellion caused Urcean leaders specifically and Urcean society generally to reexamine the weight of its influence in the [[Nysdra Sea]] region, and particularly how other states viewed Urcea. After decades of [[The Deluge|Deluge]]-related policies that were ostensibly to maintain the independence and national identity of people in Crona, a bloody rebellion against a Urcean-imposed system called into question the validity of Urcea's work there as well as how Urcea's alliances in the region worked. In early September, calls for the repeal of the [[Protocols Act of 2023]] became widespread throughout Urcea. The Act, which allowed [[Concilium Purpaidá|Urcean ministries]] to directly interact with NSTA members without need for diplomatic protocols, was viewed as an admission of imperial hegemony by Urcea, and became deeply unpopular. The Act was subsequently repealed in October 2032, with normal diplomatic relationships restored. Many Urceans began to feel, while NSTA was a valuable institution and Urcea's involvement in the Nysdra was not irredeemable, that Urcea needed to take a step back and allow its partners and allies to grow organically, and that Urcea should be more of a peer, rather than patron, in NSTA. | The Rebellion caused Urcean leaders specifically and Urcean society generally to reexamine the weight of its influence in the [[Nysdra Sea]] region, and particularly how other states viewed Urcea.

In the initial hours of the rebellion, international reaction was relatively muted; the global unpopularity of the Deluge had waned, and though some nations (particularly [[Ardmore]]) congratulated the Pachoy people on taking the step towards an uprising, most countries remained neutral. As the hours and days passed, however, most nations universally condemned the taking of hostages by the Pachoy people and asked Urcea to take immediate military action. Besides condemnation of the Pachoy, international reaction to the handling of the crisis was divided, with [[Cartadania]] and [[Burgundie]] praising NSTA's slow diplomatic approach while [[Yonderre]] and [[Alstin]] protested the slow pace of progress and lack of a rescue attempt for the hostages. Global observers held a universally low opinion of the [[Chenango Confederacy]]'s military operations throughout the entire conflict. Officials from Yonderre and private military contractors from that country were especially critical of the TNA's semi-failed rescue attempt on 17 August that led to the death of 55 hostages, with many Yonderian officials referring to the entire operation as "completely amateurish". Yonderre and other countries were critical of Urcea for its decision to use local forces rather than an international coalition force, stating that this "political manuever" likely cost the lives of the hostages. | In the initial hours of the rebellion, international reaction was relatively muted; the global unpopularity of the Deluge had waned in preceding years, and though some nations (particularly [[Ardmore]]) congratulated the Pachoy people on taking the step towards an uprising, most countries remained neutral.

In the weeks and months after the rebellion, criticism towards the Chenango military operation grew to near universal status as more details became publicly available. Abroad, opinion on whether or not Urcea acted too passively during the uprising remains divided. | ||
