Coalition authority

A Coalition authority is an organization or entity that the government of the Coalition of Congressional Republics formally administrates; yet, such an organization or entity is not actually considered a core entity of the Coalition government itself, and can theoretically be dissolved without issue. Although non-polity Coalition authorities exist (the main example being the Coalition Forces Authority), the common usage of this term is in reference to geopolitical or astropolitical regions that the CCR maintains direct control of, independent of any nation or corporation. These are colloquially referred to as "peacekeeping regions".
The most notable examples of this include the temporary Belial Authority (put in place for some years as the legitimate government was reassembled for Belial following the Belial War) and the temporary Mera Authority (a similar instance to Belial, but for Mera following the Meran War). In both instances, the Coalition established political authorities in these star systems to facilitate transition of power and attempted maintenance of peace.
Coalition political authorities are often fraught with controversies, as laws within such authorities are usually solely enforced by the Coalition Forces Authority. Since only Coalition laws apply to these authorities, and that no parallel supervising bodies exist as seen in normal countries, crimes against humanity have been reported to occur in the past within these areas.
