The government of this (fantasy) world is made up of a small group, randomly chosen at birth and representing maybe 0.5% of the population. The group are tutored in their homes with their families for 5 years, then retain some contact whilst in specialist academies until the age of 18 when they assume full voting rights as part of the Assembly, and travel to various government buildings/courts to vote in the affairs of the state. I am aware of the problems any empire may have (religious differences, clashing cultural identities etc.), but I want opinions on what other reasons groups might rebel against _this_ empire. For example, the one reason I already have is that it is slow (takes 18 years) to add representatives of other cultures. It also occurs to me that gerontocratic tribes may have trouble excepting 18 year olds as their representatives, as to start with the empire likes to work with representatives of the old structure.
