Line 16 ⟶ 17:
Compare and contrast with [[Full-Circle Revolution]] which has virtually no change in the way things are governed after the revolution. These revolutions are compatible—in that a revolution can produce no real change even after ruthlessly slaughtering large chunks of the population, and indeed, after all this slaughter, people may be quite content to merely get back to the old ways. The Empire variant is [[Crushing the Populace]] where you make sure no one will oppose you through sheer brutality.
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* One country that Kino visits in ''[[Kino's Journey]]'' replaced a tyrant king with the rule of majority. First the people voted to kill the king and his family, then his supporters and their family. Then anyone who disagreed with the majority. The country is left with one man after he and his wife voted to kill the third man, and then the wife died of an unrelated illness. ( having a doctor would have helped.)
