Demographically, the uprising was a catastrophic event in Pachaug history. Of the territory's 59,222 population in 2030, about 2% were killed in the fighting or as civilian casualties, a majority of these being men of fighting age. The loss of such a large percent of the population worsened economic conditions. | Demographically, the uprising was a catastrophic event in Pachaug history.

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]]. | 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.

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. | |||

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.
