** The new government is not skilled in matters of war. [[SuicidalPacifism A neighbour of Tropeville invades, inflicts significant damage and forces Tropeville to capitulate]].


Added DiffLines:

** A program is put in place to train soldiers to be diplomats, researchers and other professionals in order
** Bob forms a group to offer haven for individuals fleeing from the battle, and pressures the invaders to atone for attacking Tropeville. They do, in the form of a large number of resources that Tropeville needs to regrow. Eventually a treaty is worked out that incentivises the other country to demilitarise as well.

(template incoming)'''Basic Trope''': A character manages to achieve great feats through explicitly nonviolent means.
* '''Straight''': Bob succeeds in overthrowing Evulz through a completely nonviolent revolution.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob becomes the new leader of Tropeville, and leads the country to new heights of prosperity by building alliances, negotiating shrewdly and never resorting to invading Tropeville's neighbours.
* '''Downplayed''': There are a few casualties due to diehard supporters of Evulz having to be put down, but nothing remotely approaching the scale of a war, and none of them were caused or authorised by Bob personally.
* '''Justified''':
** Enemies don't always want to use violence either.
** A form of WhiteMagic exists in the setting which can bind or exhaust opponents without ever inflicting injury or death. Bob is a skilled practitioner.
* '''Inverted''': Bob advocates violence, and is extremely good at maiming and killing opponents specifically.
