[40K] Against all odds, the Imperium of Man wins. What next?

Honestly, it probably collapses into feuding nation-states or guts itself in an orgy of internal violence. The Imperium of Man is too bloated, too oppressive a regime to ever survive peace time.

"The Emperor Protects" is the refrain, the credo. Once everything is gone, all foes brought low and cast out, what, precisely, does the Emperor protect them *from*? The crippling poverty that much of the Imperium wallows in due to having their resources strip-mined to feed the warmachine? The neglect that leads to entire planets being wiped out by some over-worked administratum drone forgetting to carry the one? The ecological ruin of worlds like Kreig? The Imperium of man is not a society equipped for that kind of thing. You've suddenly got a bunch of out of work Astartes who can't do much of anything beyond lug a bolter, a brutal police agency, an even more brutal *secret* police agency, a religious body whose sole tenet has been intolerance of anything 'Other". It's a recipe for just utter, brutal self-destruction.
