The Corporate Yoke started on 21 December 1951 when several major companies in Iansisle, led by Royal Mining and Manufacturing and the East Gallaga Company, conducted a secret coup. Using hostages, the Corporatists took control of the heads of government in Iansisle and used them to put down increasingly violent strikes and revolts in Eastern Ianapalis.

On 3 August 1952, the Corporate Yoke was ended and the companies pulled their forces out of Ianapalis.
