I was thinking more of secession (not that they would call it that) but regions breaking away.
The Templars have their own island territory so they will give it a try. The goblins in the south might decide this was the time to declare home rule. The Church lands around New Jerusalem might decide that the Mandate of Heaven is theirs now.
But the threat of the Caliph's forces on the desert borders might deter at least one of those.
The armies are based on Roman Legions, which is good for discipline but might also make generals a little too powerful.
