Civil Military Administration Territory

**Civil Military Administration Territory**, Fully known as the **Civil Military Administration of Occupied or Liberated Territories,** is a form of a Civilian and Military led administration for territories under Z-Tech's and their Military's control.

During the Garden War, Z-Tech created civilian military-led nations in occupied or liberated territories which are known as a **Military administrations** or **Military administration authority**. These differed from *the Imperial States* which are led by Gray Gravel officials. A *Military administration* is normally led by a "military commander".

## Role

The Supreme Military Commander is the chief military position, in countries occupied or liberated by the military which are headed by a civilian administration. The main objective is military security in the area, and command the defense in case of attack or invasion. The *Supreme Military Commander* also has a judicial function, as he served as judge in military courts. He has no control over Army units, but is responsible for defence, and housing for troops. In the occupied territories of the former allies or puppet states of Gray Gravel, the Supreme Military Commander is also responsible for securing the occupied territories, protect transport links and recording the crops.

C.M.A.T functions as a **provisional government**, also called an **interim government**, an **emergency government**, or a **transitional government**, which is an emergency governmental authority set up to manage a political transition generally in the cases of a newly formed state or following the collapse of the previous governing administration. Provisional governments are generally appointed, and frequently arise, either during or after civil or foreign wars.

Provisional governments maintain power until a new government can be appointed by a regular political process, which is generally an election. They may be involved with defining the legal structure of subsequent regimes, guidelines related to human rights and political freedoms, the structure of the economy, government institutions, and international alignment. Provisional governments differ from caretaker governments, which are responsible for governing within an established parliamentary system and serve as placeholders following a motion of no confidence, or following the dissolution of the ruling coalition.

In opinion of Yossi Shain and Juan J. Linz, provisional governments can be classified to four groups:

1. Revolutionary provisional governments (when the former regime is overthrown and the power belongs to the people who have overthrown it).
2. Power sharing provisional governments (when the power is shared between former regime and the ones who are trying to change it).
3. Incumbent provisional governments (when the power during transitional period belongs to the former regime).
4. International provisional governments (when the power during the transitional period belongs to the international community).

The establishment of provisional governments is frequently tied to the implementation of transitional justice. Decisions related to transitional justice can determine who is allowed to participate in a provisional government.
