The Central Trade Authority is a pseudo-governmental and highly bureaucratic organization that grew out of a postwar era from a demand for order and no stable governments after the war ended. It was intended as a temporary solution to badly managed and fragile systems and stuck around because no other powers were as organized or powerful as they were/are. Their current goal is to cling on to power as long as possible, but its authority now relies more on bureaucratic habit and paperweight regulation than genuine control.
