Vichy France and its theoretical colonial empire are ISOT'd from 11:59PM, 10 July 1940 to 11:59PM, 10 July 1980.

But to answer your question:
- Everyone is happy that France has lost its nuclear arsenal
- The EU has lost one of its main member, so expect a economic crisis
- American happy that France is less socialist
- URSS is happy to have a western country with communist guerilla
I'm sorry. I'm not used to making scenarios. I'm in a very dark and sad place and it's affecting my coherency.

What happens with the colonies that were Free French from the start, like in Central Africa and the Pacific islands? Do they come along for the ride or do they stay in the original timeline?
The nuclear arsenal is mainly in Brest, which would be in the Occupied Zone and thus remain 1980 France.
Rump 1980 France would immediately invade and occupy the Vichy zone. The economic crisis would be short-term. France would be saddled with an econonic backward half, a bit like Italy with the Mezzogiorno.

Regarding the French Indochina that could have been a crippling blow to the Viet Minh movement as Ho Chi Minh was in China prior to the ISOT.
Thailand would surely be put at ease by the fact that the Vietnamese forces that occupy the neighbouring Cambodia with its armoured division ready to invade Bangkok through the eastern plains are now gone - but the Cambodian refugee groups on its border region such as the one in Khao-I-Dang set up after the fall of Khmer Rouge would prove to be troublesome.
The PRC would not only be concerned about the sudden reappearance of imperialist forces its doorsteps but also the French concession zones in Guangzhouwan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hankou(part of modern Wuhan), Tianjin and the Kunming-Haiphong railway.

Does the German-occupied zone get ISOT'd? If it does then war immediately commences and the Nazis and their puppets are easily defeated (Vichy forces likely defect), replaced by a regime led by uptime diplomats and any French ministers out of the country under the 5th Republic constitution. Colonial regimes in Indochina and Africa(which are extremely weak at this point) quickly surrender with no support from the Metropole. PRC seizes French zones in China with no opposition from other countries (I could imagine Taiwan seizing Guangzhouwan if it moves quickly) and invades Indochina, probably quickly winning and setting up puppet regimes.
If only the Zone Libre is ISOT'd the war is even easier (probably close to bloodless) and the Rump 5th Republic stomps.

Gaddafi is going to have to deal with his western neighbors suddenly being uprooted. Don't know if he's in any position to take advantage.
