* One ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' storyline, titled ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Regime Change]]'', had Dredd lead a multinational "peacekeeping" task force into Ciudad Barranquilla to depose the ruling Judge Supremo under the pretence of searching for missing Mega City One citizens, the bodies of which are found in a mass burial pit along with all the other dissenters. Dredd executes the Supremo and puts a puppet dictator in his place.

Differs from TheCoup chiefly by origin despite being one of the ways Regime Change can occur - coups begin from within the current governing system ([[MilitaryCoup often a country's own military]], whereas Regime Change generally comes from outside it (propaganda and other PR, of course, will paint the picture as it suits whatever side is telling the story). The two are not mutually exclusive (for example, a general could launch a coup with help from a foreign power), but which one is predominantly portrayed can effect different reactions in the story. Both, however, are different from more drawn-out conflicts like general war in that changes are usually confined to the top levels of government and the policies it implements - wholesale annexation of land or massive, long-lasting social upheaval are usually not part of the picture.
