something to watch out for
if tptb expected a civil war their first call of action . would be to get as many troops back home after carefull secret vetting of them to see which ones still supported them strongly.
they would move the others away to a war zone and under supply weaponry.

then they would apply in the local media for people to join the voluntary services etc.
see how many people of the nation were still feeling patriotic.

this gives them the data of who is for and who is likely to be against.
then you would divide the ones that are left somehow and wait for it to kick off.
and protect yourselves using your new armed services that is full of patriotic supporters of your regime.

so if you spot any of that coming then id say yup civil war is a pretty good likely hood.

but that's only how I would do it if I was TPTB and thought civil war was a possibility.
first thing you need to know is who is for and whos not.

that part would be obvious to anyone.

but I would also test some of my control methods by using situations in other countries and cause uprisings there to see how they dealt with them so I could learn from what they did.

like a real life simulator.
