Part of what makes things a bit hard to follow in SW is that Lucas has, uh... roughly zero grasp of socio-economic reality. This is where his left-wing attitudes shine through the most. His idea for the Clone Wars was essentially: "like the US Civil War, but instead of slavers seceding, it's evil corporations... and instead of Lincoln, you have Hitler pretending to be Lincoln".
And this makes no sense.
It might more realistic sense, but it makes little story sense.
Palpatine orchestrates the... Core seceding so that the Outer Rim can... conquer it and then reform the Outer Ring stuff into the Empire that now occupies the Core?
They were probably better off not going to the Corporation route at all, and have it be more Outer Rim alien worlds seceding from the human dominated Republic, giving Palpatine the excuse to... wipe out a good chunk of the resistance he would have gotten from aliens.
