May want to get out whilst the going's good
General plan for providence in case you care, is to give all the systems / stations away to whoever wants them, let them do whatever they want, run their own standing, form their own alliances - shoot whoever they want. Complete Anarcho-Capitalist Freedom under the watchful eye of U'K.
The only limitation is a "No Sov Warfare" pact. Any Tower/Station aggression by either external or internal parties will be crushed.
What happens if anyone too tough for U'K* to take on tries to invade or expand?
*such as any random Empire mining corp, 12 year old girls with sticks or the contents of the average Eve player's sock drawer?
They will Engage in one 'fight', realise they are totally outclassed, then Rage
disband their alliance of course, claiming it's for lulz, then become a NC pet.
