Sprague temperature -71 to +70 degrees of Celsius means, that temperature extremes are more pronounced than on planet Earth. Only part of the planet's surface would be economically viable to settle within reasonable timeframe, while extreme colds or heats would require expensive long-term housing projects.
3 billions people would have very hard time to survive and thrive there, as even habitable Sprague's zone is no green paradise (desert rocky world). Nothing that can replace dead planet Leeds and its industrial output for Bretonia's economy.
This colony will need large chunks of money, goods and qualified labor over whole decades to be considered something more than credit sinkhole.
I don't see anything in current Bretonia, which could uplift economy to the pre-Gallic War level within less than several decades.
