OOC: There are plenty of reasons for people to rise up and start a civil war, I guess. Some examples would probably consist of:
-Your country is imperialistic.
-A decisive new law has been passed, one that seriously negatively affects a certain race, sex, animal, or whatever.
-A state could secede from the rest of the country, declaring itself independant.
-The latest election was rigged and it gets out to folks.

I don't know, I'm just throwin' ideas... Bad ones, but ideas.

OOC: I could have spies incite a revolution.

OOC: In my nation's history, I have a lot of military coups.

So you might want to try a military coup --- but only more detailed. You could have half of your military to be loyal to the emperor, and other half loyal to the rebels.

Some ideas for rebels include:
-Disloyal military members who wants to become the emperor.
-Generals want to estabilish a military or communist dictatorship.
-Some people wants to estabilish a new republic.

Political Idealogy - Such as Communism. Before World War 2, Spain had an all out Civil War between Communists/Republicans/Anarchists supported by Soviet Russia and the Nationalists supported by Germany, and Italy.

Ethnic Tension - Such as in todays Ireland, where Catholic Republicans clash with Protestant Loyalists.

Imposition of draconian measures by the government can also lead to Civil War.

You should do a combination of the following:

Disloyal Military
Religious Ideology
and last but still important, political corruption (or at least accusations of such)
