The Pachoy Rebellion, including its many fatalities, left a lasting scar on the Pachoy people and had significant consequences for Pachaug as a state. Urcea conceded the point of the status of the city as a charter in a public address on the morning of 18 August, stating its willingness to agree to "any terms" with Pachaug's Charterist government for the future of the country. Until the permanent solution was achieved, the forces of the Chenango Confederacy began a standing occupation of the country as TNA forces were reorganized to remain in place. The rescued 135 hostages were flown to [[New Harren]] for medical treatment and counseling on 18 August prior to being returned to wherever their respective homes were. The Charterist government planned to meet in the official government structures on the 18th, but the ensuing massacre of that day delayed the meeting of the Communal Council until 19 August. In light of the massacre, planned punitive measures were abandoned, and the Council began to consider the country's political future as well as a system of pardons for most people who participated in the rebellion. On 19 August, the naval base at Pachaug began to be demolished, with its land later transferred to the Pachoy government.

Beyond the social and political ramifications, the rebellion was crippling to the already struggling Pachoy economy. As most of the country became the site either of fighting or of military occupation, very few Pachoy were able to continue working or at least worked with adequate resources and customers. Throughout most of summer 2032, nearly all economic function was slowed or stopped completely. Most people in the rebel controlled zones turned to subsistence agriculture or military duty, while those outside it tried to restart their livelihoods with limited resources or temporarily became refugees in the Chenango Confederacy or New Harren. During the siege and subsequent fighting, much of the once-prosperous city center was destroyed or damaged beyond repair, and ruins of buildings in the city center would remain for years to come. Economists project it will take years, or even a decade, for Pachaug to completely rebound from the economic impact of the rebellion.

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.
