Well it would seem the Arbiter will assume control of the Elites. They will most likely wipe out the Brutes, and re-absorb some members of the Covenant (if it would be only one, it would be the Hunters) into a more democratic system of government.
Yeah, I would assume they would have some form of government based around the Councilors and the Arbiter, I don't know about democratic though. And the Hunters were always with the Elites, very few of them sided with the Loyalists. Grunts were probably split based over who their commanders were and whether they could escape to the Elites, as Halo 2 seemed to indicate all the Grunts had sided with the Elites. The reason we didn't have friendly Hunters and Elites in Halo 3 is because Bungie didn't want to confuse the player, or so I've heard.
@ OP
They actually still believe the Forerunners are gods, their religion hasn't really changed all that much, only their belief in the Halos being the source of the Great Journey. And I can't say how long, but they'll bounce back, they were a pretty strong technological power when they first encountered the Prophets for the first time.
