@Spyro: I'll try to explain this with as little confusion as possible;

During the destruction of the original, unprotected Knothole Village, NICOLE used powers of Nanites to create a new city known as New Mobotropolis, shielded with the Nanites, and emulating objects found in a standard Mobian city. Issues later, a reign known as the Iron Dominion took control over NICOLE, and she ended up using Nanites to capture the people and enslave the city. When she was freed of enslavery by the Iron Dominion, things calmed down and the Iron Dominion was defeated.

A few issues later, a singer named Mina Mongoose began suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and had constant nightmares of NICOLE being under control. She decided to send a public message through a song for the citizens to rid of NICOLE and the nanite system, which caused NICOLE to undergo great depression.

Upon the arrival of a wizard demanding rights to rule New Mobotropolis, he destroyed the nanites and took control over the city using Ixis magic. Thus, NICOLE was rendered useless my a large majority of citizens and most of the Council of Acorn.
