    The provincial government of Bablos is convinced that the Republic is too large to be governed by a single world. They propose to the Heunos that a second capital be established. When the Heunos refuses, claiming that such an act would merely divide the Republic, Bablos rebels. The basis for their rebellion was the “unresponsiveness” of the Heunos to the needs of the provinces. Bablos intends to set up a second republic. The people of Bablos and the neighboring provinces petition the Republic to restore them to Mykentia under the terms of the Mykentian Charter. Acting under the authority of the Mykentian Charter, the Republic dispatched three battlegroups to suppress the rebellion. The crushing of the Bablos Rebellion took seven months, at which time the leaders were arrested and charged with high treason against the Mykentian People.
