Themed Revolution (sometimes called the thematic revolution) is a term that is used to describe various related movements that took place in several nations throughout history where a nationwide uprising helped achieve a change of power. What links these themed revolutions and makes them different from other revolutions is that a “theme” or a symbol was used to resemble the revolution like a particular chosen color for example. In these revolutions resistance by citizens helped achieve regime change through widespread demonstrations, strikes, activism and other related methods. Some themed revolutions were nonviolent while others involved violence.

The term was originally coined by Vesvai’s First Minister Jonathan Mollisal when referring specifically to the revolutions in New Vesvai and Daredland. Mollisal described the themed revolutions in New Vesvai and Daredland in a negative light. He claimed that those revolutions were influenced from the outside and specifically blamed Sunrisia as the instigator because they ended up installing pro-Sunrisian governments in his view.

List of themed revolutions

Revolution Location Date started Date ended Description
Flaming Revolution  Daredland 8 September 2018 14 September 2018
Silver Revolution  New Vesvai 19 July 2019 10 August 2019 The Silver Revolution in New Vesvai occurred after a whistleblower Kaleo Aitebi from New Vesvai’s Intelligence Directorate leaked secret government plans to allow torture of prisoners, falsify the results of the next general election to guarantee incumbent government’s reelection and to provoke a war against the Dominion of Vesvai by staging a false flag invasion and having a reason to counter-attack. The peaceful revolution led to the overthrow of the Alliance for Independent Tomorrow (AIT) coalition and their exile from New Vesvai. A new general election was held where the National Renewal (NR) party founded and led by protest leader and political outsider Adi Letago became one of the governing parties in a new coalition. Adi Letago himself was elected Prime Minister.
