=== Dissent in New Swisston ===
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.
Following the official name change to FWC Danzilona, talks were started in New Swisston on a possible independence referendum<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/DPNCCR/comments/10ts74v/discussion_first_swiss_indy_ref_debate/</ref> and a wider debate on federalization in Danzilona was also started by Lone22wolf<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/1119yt7/discussion_danzilonan_reorganization_into/</ref>. Both of these proposals were perceived negatively in the wider Danzilonan public however garnered some support in New Swisston and [[New Melonwood]]<ref>https://i.imgur.com/Ubw6j0Q</ref>.

=== Anti-Junta movement ===
As it became afternoon UTC hours, many Danzilonan oldfriends-some previously inactive for months prior to the coup- began to wake up and immediately denounce the junta, with some calling it "anti-Danz" and "bullying."<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11j3om3/dissent_to_the_junta/</ref> Anti-junta Danzilonans [[TheTrackball]], [[Ninjajackh12]], and [[Lowtuff]] joined previously pro-junta Danzilonan [[Azelair]] in making a channel to coordinate anti-junta actions in the Discord server previously used for [[Civcraft 3.0]] and [[Provincia]].<ref><nowiki>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1077360271011627068/1082011966379409478/IMG_4702.png</nowiki></ref> Upon catching wind of this resistance, [[SandFalls]] locked Track and ninja out of FWCD's storage room while they were in it. After some Danzilonan re-added them to the room's door groups, Track headed to the Danzilonan nether portal in an attempt to replace its infrastructure-which he wasn't sure he was still in control of or not- with infrastructure of his own. He attempted to enlist [[Cortesia Del Mar|Cortesian]] [[Yodabird19]] in this effort<ref><nowiki>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/944380382407696415/1082013650627338461/image.png</nowiki></ref>, but upon arrival, yoda actually deconstructed Track's infrastructure with the help of [[Red Steel]], prompting Track to return to Danzilona's capital.
=== Fall of the SUC junta ===
Although the anti-junta movement did little materially to stop the coup besides burn some flags,<ref><nowiki>https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1077360271011627068/1087495472412889148/2023-03-07_21.08.32.png</nowiki></ref> the coup's unpopularity among the Danzilonans was almost universal. Danzilonans who the SUC thought would be allies of the junta-such as Azelair, architect of the cooperatives, and [[ViktorHr]], socialist leader of [[New Melonwood]]- actually opposed the coup and contributed to its undermining. Most Danzilonans dismissed or minimised the concerns raised in the SUC Manifesto, with some anti-junta Danzilonans not reading the document at all.{{Citation needed|date=March 2023}} Under mounting pressure, with no allies and increasing concern among Danzilona's neighbour [[Nara]] over how the coup was going to affect the upcoming [[Nara-Danzilona Olympics]], [[Des23]] withdrew her involvement from the junta, handed over primary ownership of Danzilonan infrastructure groups, and abandoned Danzilona altogether. As a last-ditch effort, [[The Workers' Party]] took full control of the junta and declared the Socialist Republic of Danzilona. However, this, too, was short-lived, and [[SandFalls]] also abandoned Danzilona. [[Red Steel]] tentatively remained a Danzilonan citizen, but she stepped down from her position as foreign representative of Danzilona and relocated her main residence to the [[Arsenio Pact]]. By the end of the day on Monday, March 6th, the coup was declared a failure, the Socialist Unity Coalition was dissolved, and the three coup plotters were banned from the Danzilona subreddit.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11kfe35/this_community_cannot_tolerate_this_level_of/</ref>
=== Activation of the Lowtuff Clause ===
During the coup, Danzilonan oldfriend [[Lowtuff]] attempted to act as a mediator between the junta and the anti-junta movement, though they themselves were personally opposed to the coup. In an attempt to unite the community after being given ownership of the Danzilona Discord server by Red_Steel, Lowtuff facetiously declared themselves to be in full control of Danzilona and changed the name of the Discord server to "Danzilowtuff." In-game, however, things largely returned to business as usual albeit three citizens shorter than before.
== Aftermath ==
Since the end of the junta, the Danzilonans have continued to struggle in organising their namelayer permissions. Despite the fact that primary ownership was transferred to multiple current Danzilonan citizens, Namelayer retains the new owner's previous group permissions, many of whom only held member or moderator permissions.
The [[Nara-Danzilona Olympics]] were successfully held between March 10th and March 12th without major incident.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/11pytzt/olympics_closing_ceremony/</ref>
Two weeks after the coup, [[Red_Steel]] was officially exonerated from her role in it under the condition that she would transfer any remaining Danzilonan infrastructure groups to "neutral parties."<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/Danzilona/comments/11wopbr/verdict_trial_of_red_steel/</ref>
