Suácismo is a term given to the period when José Fulgencio Suácos governed as President of Costa Madora in the mid-to-late 19th century, coined by Madorian historian Neizan Acorres. Having been appointed President by the National Assembly in 1843, Suácos pursued, from 1861 onwards, the policy of "order and progress", inviting foreign investment in Costa Madora and maintaining social and political order, by force if necessary. There were significant economic, technological, social, and cultural changes during this period. The interim presidency of Luis Edgar Villegas is seen as the end of Suácismo.
