Beatrice Gunner quickly announced the formation of a new state, [[United Lyrevale]], which maintained the constitution of the north including its apartheid policies. Land belonging to lupines were seized and redistributed to human buyers for a large profit, and a massive crackdown on lupine businesses was enacted which saw upwards of a million becoming unemployed and being forced into low-paying jobs. In the post-war talks, Ethalria was allowed full use of Lyrevalian bases to house their armed forces, with much of the landlocked country's navy relocating from shared ports along the coast of their neighbour the [[Ethalria (Republic)|Ethalrian Republic]], over to Lyrevale, where they aided in rebuilding efforts.
