The Central Executive Authority was the name of the military government between 1976-90 that ruled over modern day Centralist Republic of Rainier. Formed after the controversial Labour government of Frederick Joseph was overthrown in a military coup in 1976 the new government promptly abandoned the 1876 constitution and enforced a new one which created a military dictatorship headed by the Central Executive Authority. The new government implemented a comprehensive economic liberalisation programme and a conservative, quasi-fascist social policy. In 1990 the regime collapsed in the Green Revolution, paving the way for the creation of the Second Centralist Republic of Rainier.
