In Nauplion, in 1836, the theatrical play I Vavylonia by D. Chantziaslanis or Vyzantios was published. This work, which was very successful throughout the entire 19th century, is a satirical representation of the welter of people from different regions who fled to Greece. People from Epirus, the islands, Thessaly, the Ionian islands, Crete, armed men, scholars, Phanariotes, some as refugees from areas where the Revolution did not succeed, others as volunteers in the armed forces and others again as staff of the administrative apparatus, came to the successfully revolutionized regions in the 1820s. Most of them remained in these areas after the establishment of the Greek state as well. They were called heterochthons or foreign-landers,Turkish-landers,Franco- levantins, by the autochthons, that is, the native inhabitants of the regions which were included within the borders of the newly-established kingdom.

As many of the heterochthons (e.g. people from Phanar, the Ionian islands) were educated and consequently had knowledge and the necessary abilities to staff the state apparatus and make an elementary bureaucracy work, they were preferred by the regency of Otto for these positions. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the ten-year period 1833-1843 these newcomers ivariably secured the most important offices in politics, administration and education. However, this was not only because of their knowledge and experience in bureaucratic matters. The sponsorship of the heterochthons was directly connected with the policy applied by the regency and Otto against the traditional social elites of the regions that had revolted, that is, their exclusion from positions and offices to bring about their political enfeeblement. On the other hand, those heterochthons who did not have local socio-political support had to win the favour of the crown in order to remain in their positions. This is the way that the appropriate conditions were formed so that the discontent of the traditional socio-political elites - which characterizes the atmosphere of opposition of this period - often found expression in the Bavarocracy, the Kamarila, turning against the heterochthons, which an extreme autochthon logic identified with the outlandish regime.
