Every so often, the leadership of one country will decide that it doesn't like the leadership of another country. Perhaps there's a longstanding feud between the two leaders, perhaps one wants to take over the other but not look like it, or perhaps the leader of the latter country is bent on causing trouble. Whatever the reason, the first country wants the leadership gone.

* The ''[[Leverage]]'' episode "The San Lorenzo Job" had the team attempt to fix the presidential election in the nation of San Lorenzo. They need the current president gone so he can no longer protect a ruthless international criminal who is their real target.

* In ''Decedent of a Demon Lord'' the protagonist helps overthrow the a fey queen because not only was the fey queen's territory effectively sharing a border between the protagonists freshly seized territories and one of the protagonist's rivals, Madness, for the office of demon king, but the fey queen was allies with Madness. Allowing the current fey regime to stay would have allowed an invasion into the protagonist's territory. The fey queen also presumably didn't know the relationship between the protagonist and Madness.
