The '''2023 Danzilonan coup d'état attempt''', also known as the '''Socialist Unity Coalition coup d'état''' or '''Operation Resurgo''', was a coup attempt that took place in [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona]] between 5 and 6 March 2023 on [[CivMC]]. It started in the UTC morning hours of 5 March 2023 when the [[Socialist Unity Coalition]], headed by [[Des23]], [[SandFalls]] and [[Red_Steel]], announced the completion of 'Operation Resurgo' which put a Socialist Unity Coalition junta into power<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/? https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/?]</ref> and started the process of reform within Danzilona in line with the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1536bC3PGR3akBuoSlHvbFyYEHRyQbAm_5W0ZolSCIpk/edit SUC Manifesto]. The SUC Manifesto imposed the expulsion of most of [[New Swisston]] and its leader, [[Lone22wolf]], from Danzilona, annulled the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|concordat between Danzilona and the Church of Ranubis]], introduced a new citizenship system, nationalized most infrastructure in Danzilona and introduced the position of Chairperson as an executive position. Despite initial success, the junta failed to secure the support of the Danzilonan public and was officially overthrown on 6 March 2023 after an announcement by [[Azelair]]<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11kddxs/a_united_fwc_danzilona/</ref>.

Since the original referendum on changing the national name and replacing the system of governance, most opposition to these reforms came from [[New Swisston]] and the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]] which holds a lot of influence in the territory. The leader of the Church of Ranubis, [[Lone22wolf]], publicly refused to join any cooperative citing [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|Danzilona's]] alleged "descent into communism"<ref>https://i.imgur.com/i3PbRdc</ref>. [[New Swisston]] also continued to use its institutions and private enterprises which often competed with Danzilonan cooperatives. DanzRail, a private company owned by Lone22wolf, refused to give up ownership of the [[Colonial Express]] and [[OneDest/Tree|North Line]] to the Division for Infrastructural Assembly & Maintenance Over National Domain (DIAMOND)<ref>https://i.imgur.com/ybbbvj7</ref>, and the February 2023 Census of Danzilona was started by the Danzilonan Census Bureau<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11196gp/census_7th_census_of_the_free_danzilonan_republic/</ref>, another private company of Lone22wolf.

The [[Socialist Unity Coalition]] announced their takover alongside their manifesto in the morning UTC hours of 5 March 2023<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11it4ko/operation_resurgo_is_complete_a_new_temporary/</ref>. The SUC claimed the goal of the junta was to "unilaterally update, correct, or abolish archaic laws and policies holding [[Danzilona]] back from a brighter, more egalitarian future." The junta took control over namelayer perms and Discord roles and quickly started to cleanse them of individuals which were deemed reactionary. All infrastructure within [[Danzilona]] was nationalized with the exception of the [[Colonial Express]] which was under the control of the private company DanzRail. A new 3-tier citizenship system was implemented which sorted citizens into different categories based on their activity. The SUC manifesto also introduced a new office to Danzilona - the Chairperson. The role of the Chairperson was to enforce decisions made by cooperatives and oversee their work.

One of the biggest announcements by the [[Socialist Unity Coalition]] was that of the partition and expulsion of [[New Swisston]]. Under the SUC manifesto, [[New Swisston]] was to be given independence in its [[Free Workers' Cooperative of Danzilona|FWC Danzilona]] borders with the exception of farms in the north, which were to remain part of Danzilona under the name North Swisston, and the ice farm to the east which was to be shared by [[Danzilona]] and New Swisston. With the expulsion of New Swisston, the junta also announced the end of the [[Concordat between the Church of Ranubis and the Free Danzilonan Republic|Church of Ranubis Concordat]], a document which grants the [[Ranubism|Church of Ranubis]] special status within [[Danzilona]] and regulates relations between them. Alongside the repeal of the CoR Concordat, [[Lone22wolf]] was stripped of Danzilonan citizenship. The SUC claimed this was due to the Church of Ranubis' history of harassing believers of other faiths, shooting down legislation and scheming to declare New Swisston independence.
