Pact of Eighteen and Delepasian Commonwealth
The newly-unified nation was a continuation of the Estado Social regime that was installed in 1938 in Rosaria and governed by Fernando Pascual who subsequently became the first Delepasian prime minister from its formation in 1976 until 1988 when he was succeeded by Nicolás Torres after a stroke.

The Estado Social regime in Delepas was characterised by a gradually-liberalising economy,, prime ministerial supremacy, hispanicisation policies, and National Catholicism. Spanish was the sole official language during this era, and all minorities were put through brutal cultural suppression and measures. Even during the Torres reforms of the early 1990s, hispanicisation remained as official government policy, and public opposition rose sharply as an increasingly significant element of the population grew with no memory of the anarchy that preceded Pascual and most especially when the reform experiment was put to an end by hardliners in the Armed Forces.
