Did the "Casse" (I expect a name change, too) actually do this? Is there evidence of them interfering in continental politics?

That is no justification for a faction. In fact, if there's good naval invasions, it would be a plus to not have a faction, IMO. It will make it a prize to be contested over by the continental powers, and not just a money generating machine for whomever starts there.
