I've been holding off on saying this but Gridania & Limsa Lominsa vs Ul'dah is not a Civil war. All three are different Nations. After all the Autumn War in the 6th Astral Era was Ishgaurd, Gridania, Ul'dah, and Limsa Lominsa vs Alamhigo. That was the origin of "The Grand Company Alliance" that still exists and upon Ishguard's rejoining will once more be complete.

The Syndicate & Brass Blades vs The Immortal Flames and A People's Militia would be a Civil War. Remember that each city state is it's own Nation and a Civil war is a war within a single nation's people (See French Revolution and American Civil War for Examples)
