In the last few years, especially 2025, several nations experienced political upheaval with similar characteristics: youth-led, street-level/grassroots, social-media coordinated, occurring in peripheral nations, and primarily driven by governmental corruption and lack of basic social services rather than specific ideological motives. Some protestors identified themselves as being part of a global movement, despite most protests focusing on local concerns, adopting the Straw Hat from One Piece as a symbol. Examples include Madagascar, Nepal, Morocco, Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and potentially Kenya and Sri Lanka. Resolves YES if and only if the Associated Press, Reuters, or a consensus of credible media reports on one of the following:
Governmental overthrow or change in government/ruling coalition/party due to Straw Hat mass protests
Coup or self-coup orchestrated in response to Straw Hat mass protests
Resignation of a head of state or head of government due to these protests
Violence arising from Straw Hat mass protests directly leading to the killing of more than 50 people
