Sometimes a nation undergoes a major revolution and completely changes its rulers or even switches to a new system of government. Sometimes people lose faith in the new rulers or system of government and have another revolution soon after. Sometimes this happens over and over again, and that's the Revolving Door Revolution. The reasons for this can be complex. Maybe the nation in question is extremely polarized in opinion. Maybe there's deep-rooted hatred between factions. Maybe the country is a pawn used by superpowers for their global chess games. Maybe the successive governments aren't stable, or effective enough to last. Maybe the former rulers and operatives from previous regime switch allegiances to a new party and help toppple the usurpers. Maybe the writers just think it makes for better drama (or better laughs, depending on the type of story). These sorts of turnovers are particularly common in your stereotypical Banana Republic and in failed states. See also Full-Circle Revolution, where the new government is run by different people but policy-wise winds up being no different than the old. In a Revolving Door Revolution situation, successive governments may well be polar opposites (but see also The Horseshoe Effect). |

Star Trek Online: The Romulans went through several governments in a span of thirty years in the backstory of the prime universe. Power struggles went on throughout the 2380s in the wake of Shinzon's brief tenure as Praetor, with the Empire breaking in two at one point (one part seceded and crowned Commander Donatra their empress, then reunified with the rest). Then Praetor Chulan was murdered by Nero right after the Hobus supernova and a couple years of no government at all followed. Admiral Taris eventually came out on top and became Praetor, but got embroiled in a power struggle with the Senate and the military and was eventually forced out in a Military Coup that installed Sela as Praetor. Sela then crowned herself Empress and announced that the Senate would now serve at her pleasure. And then she got kidnapped by the Iconians in "Cutting the Cord", plunging the Empire into chaos again. Word of God said that as of the Delta Rising expansion, there's almost nothing left of what was formerly one of the three great powers of the Star Trek franchise. Meanwhile, a mix of refugees, Reman rebels, Spock's Unificationist followers, and disaffected Imperials formed a democratic successor state, the Romulan Republic, which serves as the Romulan player faction, while the Tal Shiar control several planets in their own right. In the Mirror Universe, Spock's reforms after "Mirror, Mirror" led to the Terran Empire being weakened and then conquered by an alliance of the Klingons and Cardassians by the time of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who were roughly as evil to the Terrans as the Terrans had been to their prior conquests. The Terrans fought for their independence over the course of DS9 and won... and (as of the 2015 rewrite of the in-game Cardassian story arc) proceeded to conquer the galaxy all over again. |

The flying city of Columbia in Bioshock Infinite. It was founded by the United States in 1893 but eventually seceded from the Union in 1901. After the Secession, it became a Theocratic Dictatorship under Father Comstock. Then in 1912 the Anarcho-Communist Vox Populi launch a bloody revolution, and in one possible future, Elizabeth, after being brainwashed by Comstock, takes over and founds an even worse Theocratic Dictatorship that by 1983 leads Columbia to attack New York City. | |

The French comic Benoit Brisefer features a Banana Republic with three quarreling generals, each of which is so spectacularly inept they can't stay in power for more than a week. The inhabitants have grown so used to it (and the soldiers so bad at aiming) that they barely pay attention to who's in charge at the moment, charging extra for food that doesn't have bullet holes in it. | |

In The Order of the Stick, the Western Continent's empires rarely last a year, constantly getting overthrown by someone who sets up their own empire. Tarquin, after witnessing all this, decided to take advantage of it. He and his allies act as "advisors" to the rulers of the three largest territories, happily jumping ship whenever they get overthrown. Thus, the entire Continent is slowly being absorbed by three nations, but because their names are constantly changing, almost no one has noticed. | |

In Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg, if the Combined Syndicalists of America win the Second American Civil War and then the Totalists seize power, then Smedley Butler might march his army on Washington to force them out. If the war started because of MacArthur's knee-jerk Military Coup response to Jack Reed winning the presidency, it doubly counts (with Book Ends thrown in to boot). | |

In Pathfinder, the country of Galt is an obvious analogue for France — specifically France during the Reign of Terror, which it has been undergoing for 40+ years now, with no signs of stopping. During that time, it has seen over a dozen different governments, each new revolutionary council guillotining their predecessors, only to be overthrown themselves within five years. The only consistent power structure in Galt is the Weird Trade Union that maintains the magical guillotines themselves. | |

Several years later, his right-hand man Lee Saranson forces him into exile and seizes power. Saranson is later assassinated by Haik, who seizes power for himself. None of the coups result in any real changes for the American people. | |

The Border Kingdoms region in the Forgotten Realms setting is composed of a slew of small baronies ruled by powerful adventurers, each seeking to carve out a scrap of land and rule it as they see fit. Then another adventurer comes along, bumps them off, and sets himself up as the new baron, et cetera. A fluff piece titled "Master Tactician" has a cleric of the Red Knightnote Lawful Neutral minor goddess of military strategy working on conquering the baronies to stabilize the region, but we never find out if she succeeded. | |

In Tintin, General Tapioca and General Alcazar take turns deposing each other as dictator of San Theodoros (another Banana Republic). The government changes hands at least five times over the course of the series. They also fall under Full-Circle Revolution since, aside from slightly different uniforms and different names on the signs, their regimes aren't very different from each other. Played for Black Comedy in "The Broken Ear" where Tintin has been framed as a revolutionary and gets sent to the Firing Squad, then gets a Last-Minute Reprieve because the rebels have launched a coup, then gets sent to the firing squad again because there's been a counter-coup, only to be saved again when the rebels win after all. And in Tintin and the Picaros, Alcazar finally has Tapioca cornered... but in exchange for Tintin's help, has to spare Tapioca. Tapioca is just as horrified by the break in tradition as Alcazar is. |

The New Order Last Days Of Europe: Komi, one of Russia's warlord states and the only representative democracy at the start, is especially prone to these because they were too open and welcomed everyone from every end of the political spectrum, even those that got kicked out of their cliques. As a result, the government tends to rapidly loop between representatives of nearly every segment of the political spectrum as influence wanes and grows, until someone manages to stay for more than two months. | |

In Equestria: A History Revealed, the Griffon's homeland is said to fit this trope well, much to the Lemony Narrator's chagrin. Their Kingdom was overthrown by a Republic, which was then transformed into an Empire, and was overthrown itself.

Sometimes in Crusader Kings II, you get a situation where there's multiple strong claimants to the throne of a kingdom and no single faction is strong enough to reliably hold the kingdom; this problem is compounded by the fact that new rulers face an opinion penalty from vassals that decreases over time, but is very large at the start. Accordingly, due in part to Artificial Stupidity, there's often a merry-go-round where factions rise up and depose the old king, only for the new king to face another revolution. The cycle continues until either one king is finally strong enough to hold things together, or the kingdom splinters under the strain. In the 2.7 patch, the devs added code to make AI faction members more willing to stay loyal to the claimant they originally backed, alleviating the problem somewhat. | |

In Age of Empires III, the Mexico civilization introduced in the Definitive Edition has this as a gameplay mechanic, as their faction gimmick. Most colonial civilizations can revolt in the Industrial Age, irreversibly turning their Worker Units into Militia and adopting an aggressive playstyle with less reliance on economy. Mexico is not only able to revolt much earlier (starting with the Commerce Age), they can also cancel a revolution and revert to Mexico, and in one case are able to pull off a revolution within a revolution (Yucatán into Maya). | |
