Another approach might be to use something like {nu jecta basti} to signify 
the event of replacing a state:

jecta: x1 is a polity/state governing territory/domain x2; 
[government/territory relationship]

basti: x1 replaces/substitutes for/instead of x2 in circumstance x3; x1 is a 
replacement/substitute

I suppose it depends on whether you consider the state to persist but be 
altered by revolution, or whether you consider the state to be wholly 
replaced by it.

These might be useful:

jicmu: x1 is a basis/foundation/underlying or fundamental principle of x2; x1 
is at the bottom of x2

jinzi: x1 (property - ka) is an innate/inherent/intrinsic/natural 
property/quality/aspect of x2
