"However, relations would not truly advance until France promised to relinquish leadership of the Covenant of Mirus (after their failure to keep the Pseudopath-Scythe for leaving?)"

- Eco

To be perfectly and totally honest, what prompted France to make that gesture was the reality that nobody would take the Covenant seriously so long as it was seen as a French project. It totally invented the whole "leadership" thing with the express purpose of handing it off to the Waptoria. Nothing in existing treaties (i.e., on the Second War or Covenant page) mentions anything about French leadership, and in fact asserts that all Covenant states are equal.
