In 1987, the newconstitution established the Charter of Autonomy (limited self-government) for the formerdepartment of Zelaya, comprising the entire eastern half of the country. The department was divided into two autonomous regions (communities): theNorth Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region and theSouth Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region. The Charter of Autonomy is largely based onthe model used by Spain. The communities are governed by a Governor and a Regional Council.^[8]
