Very much so. First two miniatures have been released.

Well they're not major powers are they? ;-)
We can guess that they maintained their independence by adopting a
fairly neutral stance. That and lots of money. Could have a new
category of Independent Nation for those small countries that try to
stay out of the big boys' wars.
There are indubitably other separatist powers at large. The French
Republic on Bretonneux and Doullens is mentioned in the SG timeline
and in a scenario in MT. But it eventually falls and is re-absorbed
into the FSE. I'm sure there are pleanty more. Ranging in size
between the Khalifate at the largest and a rebel asteroid colony at
the smallest.
