The only decline without player interaction I've heard about is with regards to exploration data. Some have reported that influence gained through selling exploration date may decline (whether intended or not was not clear, but no indication that it would be intended).

An easy check is to see the traffic report - are you the only one there and can the rest of the traffic be explained with casual visits? There may be fed-supporting opposition.

And: the outcome of that civil war won't be relevant to your goal.
