In March 2017, Stanley Bowden of the right-wing United National Front (UNF) party won the South Oceanican presidential election, sending shockwaves throughout the country. Protests and rioting spread throughout Dwanesbury, the country's capital, with crowds burning down several buildings, destroying cars and setting alight thousands of books related to conservatism and capitalist economics. The rioters were composed of a wide variety of groups opposed to Bowden; feminists, members of the black supremacist organisation Black Rising, transsexuals, homosexuals, climate activists, members of Antifa and furries, to name a few. The demonstrations went on for three days, causing millions of dollars worth of damage and leaving many innocent bystanders badly injured. From the beginning, there were allegations by right-wing media outlets that the protesters were receiving clandestine funding from unknown foreign entities, however, these were dismissed as 'conspiracy theories' by mainstream news organisations and the political establishment in South Oceanica. At the same time, they began making unsubstantiated claims that the Nifonese government may have interfered in the election to help Bowden, further aggravating the protesters. | In March 2017, [[Stanley Bowden]] of the right-wing United National Front (UNF) party won the South Oceanican presidential election, sending shockwaves throughout the country.

The 2017 South Oceanica unrest was a period of civil and political unrest in South Oceanica.
In March 2017, Stanley Bowden of the right-wing United National Front (UNF) party won the South Oceanican presidential election, sending shockwaves throughout the country. Protests and rioting spread throughout Dwanesbury, the country's capital, with crowds burning down several buildings, destroying cars and setting alight thousands of books related to conservatism and capitalist economics. The rioters were composed of a wide variety of groups opposed to Bowden; feminists, members of the black supremacist organisation Black Rising, transsexuals, homosexuals, climate activists, members of Antifa and furries, to name a few. The demonstrations went on for three days, causing millions of dollars worth of damage and leaving many innocent bystanders badly injured. From the beginning, there were allegations by right-wing media outlets that the protesters were receiving clandestine funding from unknown foreign entities, however, these were dismissed as 'conspiracy theories' by mainstream news organisations and the political establishment in South Oceanica. At the same time, they began making unsubstantiated claims that the Nifonese government may have interfered in the election to help Bowden, further aggravating the protesters.
Eventually, the crowd began marching towards Little Kiyosu, the most important hub for the Nifonese community in South Oceanica. The foreign intelligence service of Nifon, the Gunpeitai, successfully kept the community supplied while locals barricaded their premises and fortified the district. An initial assault by protesters was repelled, with the Nifonese only suffering a few wounded. Several protesters were captured and taken prisoner. With plans for a second attempt at assaulting Little Kiyosu, the protesters set up a camp on the side of the river opposite the district. In the middle of the night, the Nifonese attacked preemptively with two armoured, flamethrower-equipped bulldozers, killing dozens. The deaths triggered condemnation and further widespread violence across South Oceanica, with further attacks on Nifonese and other immigrants who the protesters perceived as being supportive of Bowden.
With the police clearly unable to control the situation, an unknown politician within the United National Front contacted Conquistador Security Consulting to intervene. What followed was a massive and unprecedented operation by Conquistador to restore law and order to the country, supported by Bowden. Thousands of protesters were forced to flee the country, mostly going to Kesslerstaadt. Some observers stated that Conquistador's intervention was de facto on behalf of the Carlosian and Nifonese governments, who ordered it on the basis of strategic interests in the Southern Furukuran Sea region. It was also noted that the intervention marked a significant development in the role private military companies played in the geopolitical landscape, with organisations like Conquistador now accruing enough collective manpower and weaponry to overwhelm the military of a small country like South Oceanica.
The final Conquistador forces withdrew on 29 June 2017, marking the end of the crisis.
