WI: British support for the Mayans not withdrawn

What if the British citizens in the Mayan city of Bacalar were never massacred, and the British never stopped supporting the rebels of Chan Santa Cruz?
 
At the time the British withdrew support the Maya Free State or Chan Santa Cruz or whatever you wanna call it was locked in a stalemate with Mexico, so I don't think they'll be taking the whole peninsula for sure. At least the area of modern-day Quintana Roo would be independent though, the Mexicans will eventually relent if they recognize they can't win.
 
A lot of trade between the free Maya state and British Honduras I'm guessing and a lot more interaction within the various Maya peoples.

What would happen to the modern Mayan state in the long term? Were there enough educated Mayans and enough societal cohesion among the rebel Mayans to be able to create a stable government capable of working with the outside world and maintaining order internally without too much oppression, or would it become a dictatorship or an anarchy?
 
I have to ask: What would the demographics of this new state be like? I can't seem to find any information on it online, for my Google-fu is rather lacking.
 
Mostly Maya, with a minority of Mestizos and an even smaller minority of whites. I don't know anything more specific than that, though. Most of the Yucatecos that were in rebel territory either fled or were killed. Some were enslaved though. But they wouldn't form a significant part of the population in any case.
