Although powerful, the inefficiency of the Republic's government makes an eventual breakup a virtual certainty. If and when that happens, the region may well become a hotbed of internal strife.

That inefficiency stems not only from the region's size and diversity, but also from the collapse of the former administration. A recent coup deposed the old military governors, replacing them with a weak body of civilian ministers. Many rumors of SolSec involvement in this fiasco have surfaced. A common belief, supported by many analysts, holds that the Confederation saw the Republic's growing power as a threat.
