Result
Bretonia
Bretonia has maintained its independence and is now stronger in the Omegas. But the war left many very strong scars. Leeds is a total loss and will probably never play a major role again. Bretonia's influence on the rope is now almost zero; even if Crayter gave Planet Harris back after the war, Bretonia's claim to further areas in the Thousands expired. The areas now known as "Gallic Hebrides" have so far remained in the hands of the last royalists and pose a threat to Bretonia until further notice.
Liberty
Liberty is one of the real winners. Bretonia is now in Liberty's debt. With the end of the GRN, the Liberty Navy is again the strongest military power in Sirius and a significant proportion of Gallic technology has found its way to Liberty.
Gallia
The future is uncertain for Gallia. Even though they have formally lost the war, they have lost no country, won democracy and are no longer isolated. But this status is fragile. The reputation of Gallia is still far from Sirius, the strong military is a thing of the past and the old crown still lives on the borders and could come back anytime.
Crayter
Crayter is arguably the strongest winner. Despite the immense losses after the invasion of Tau-44 and the associated move to Planet Yuma, Crayter is now the dominant force in the Taus.
Malta
The Maltese are also a bit better off after the war. They were and are "Outcasts" before the war - but this war has created new relationships - Bretonia in particular could become a true ally in the future. Crayter may have established itself in the rope, but they also suffered great damage. An extended Maltese zone of influence in the dew is conceivable today
Corsairs
The situation is different for the Imperio. With their help at the Battle of New London, they tried to get a permanent win after a Gallic victory. Instead, they have lost a large number of troops, while losing importance in the Sigmas and Omegas.
