I've never seen it happen, so I'm gonna say no.

No. But the capital can revolt as part of a new country.

I think no. But if the capital revolt as party of a new country, how the new capital is choosen?

I'm pretty sure that the capital moves to the province with highest population. I haven't really tested it, but I don't think things like cores/culture/religion have any effect.

It's based on either population or base tax, I can't remember which...

Neither, it revolts to the province with the lowest ID number, which often tends to be in the Americas.

Which ca be good if you colonized a nice bit of it and already conquered every pagan you wished to conquer...
