So I'm relatively new to EU4 and I noticed that there's a meter in the UI for how close I am to rebels breaking my country. I'm nowhere near that point for myself so I'm not worried, but I noticed that some countries I'm on bad terms with keep getting large rebellions and I was wondering what happens if "rebels break country" happens to an AI nation and if there's any way to help that along. (I don't want to declare war on these countries because they have powerful allies who can wreck my shit, so I only really want to engage with them covertly.)
What does "rebels break country" do?

If the rebels break your country, all rebel demands regardless of type are immediately accepted.
This is different from when one rebel group fills their meter up, such are separatists freeing land.

All rebel types have demands enforced, so separatists are really bad. Stability is reset to 0, whether it was -3 or +3 makes no difference. All rebels and rebel occupations are deleted (and any provinces wanting to leave do so). War exhaustion is also reset to 0.
You cannot break to rebels if you are in a war. When they occupy more than 50% of your provinces, regardless of forts (the UI lies here), you will automatically break if not in a war.
For the above reasons, strategically breaking to rebels is a very powerful strategy, especially pretenders if your ruler sucks and you want a new one, or you declared a bankruptcy (-5 stab, 0 legitimacy, -100 all monarch points) so that you may start at 0 stab, 0 war exhaustion, have a new ruler, and have 95 legitimacy.
Your question about what you can do to the AI outside of declaring war is limited. You can try supporting rebels.
