ACCEPTED

That was a tough one!

The answer, I believe, is Albania.

Quote:

In the general elections of June 1996 the Democratic
Party tried to win an absolute majority and manipulated the
results. In 1997 the fraud of the pyramid schemes shocked the
entire government and riots started. Many cities were controlled
by militia and armed citizens. This anarchy and rebellion caused
the socialist party to win the early elections of 1997.
