@officechairpotato

I'm pretty sure it's because unless you put it on historical, these are time sensitive events. Functionally this means that almost infinitely more paths in terms of the order Ai takes focuses lead to civil war than avoid it. Poland has to take a specific focus to avoid civil war within a particular time frame, for instance, and the number of ways not to do that far exceed the number of ways to do it. Similar for the USSR and screwing up the purge, except there, 3 paths guarantee a civil war, and 1 path has the potential for it if you mess up the focus order.
