Hey Guys! I made a map of the end result of the war, yes the map is utterly disgusting but hey, I'm not a cartographer, and it serves the point (Although Bavaria is disgusting now that I realize it.)

The war had ended decisively in the Heilbronn League's hands, so the Imperialists had almost no room for negotiation.
Gustav understood that a powerful France could be an extreme danger to Sweden, but the French army had already occupied swathes of land from the imperial forces, and Sweden's manpower had been exhausted, while France was only just now beginning to move into a total war stance. The French were able to seize Spanish Burgundy, along with absorbing swathes of Lorraine's territory and annexing all of Eastern Spanish Netherlands. The Dutch, with the support of English, Swedish and Danish ambassadors, annexed Flanders in order to curb French expansion into the Rhine, and ideally keep the Dutch from falling into the orbit of France.
Sweden negotiated, along with many other Northern Protestant states, to make a separate Holy Roman Empire, this time free from Catholic clutches. The new Holy Evangelical Empire, a conglomerate of Protestant Northern states, recognized Calvinism and Lutheranism as the official religions, pushing the borders of the Holy Roman Empire back south. The Holy Roman Empire, now a rump and weak form of itself, would officially recognize only the Roman Catholic Church, although Calvinist and Lutherans would be guaranteed from religious persecution, and allowed to worship in private. the same was extended to the HEE, of which it was effectively nullified as an extension of Swedish power.
Sweden joined the HEE as soon as it was formed, giving itself it's own elector status along Brandenburg, Saxony, Hannover, Mecklenburg, Cologne, and Denmark, who also petitioned to join. This new bloc was effectively run by Sweden, with a large military presence, Denmark saw fit to assert herself as a power within the HEE in order to keep Sweden from dominating Northern Germany, however, that decision would prove fatally wrong in the future.
Pomerania was partitioned between Brandenburg and Sweden. The Dutch decided to join in observer status to the HEE, however, refused to join. The Dutch and Swiss were guaranteed free from both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, and the Swedes had essentially asserted dominance over the majority of North East Germany.
Austria had originally rejected the draconian treaty. It blasted the Habsburg influence back an entire century and smashed the Catholic rule over North Germany. But the coming Turkish army was of more concern now. The Habsburgs had to choose new electors, now that many of their electors had gone. Baden would e a choice for now, and the Habsburgs had to fend off the Turks.
The Poles joined in on the war to save Austria, the latter of which promised the poles compensation for the Silesian incident if they supported their war with Turkey. Poland, eager to find any reason to harm the Turks, agreed, and so the Poles, who were finishing up with the war for Smolensk, which had turned into Poland's favor, had joined the war against Turkey.
