Rather than following the lead of some other foreign-influenced factions and Delegates, the members of the National Pact considered themselves loyal subjects of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], and that they abhorred revolution or disloyalty. Instead, the Pact sought gradual reform within existing institutions. Throughout the 19th century's constitutional settlements, the National Pact scored many key victories for the power of the [[Concilium Daoni]], and thus the common people in general, in relation to the King. During this time, in which the party was unofficially known as the '''Party of Order''', the Pact coalesced from a loose coalition into a more unified and disciplined political organization with a clear ideology of modernization and industrialization with liberalization, and the party was lead by the privilegiata. The Party of Order era saw the National Pact supported the King against more revolutionary types during the latter half of the 19th Century, a period in which they controlled substantial Daoni majorities. The so-called Party of Order also won elections for all of Urcea's seats in the [[Imperial Diet]] during the period. The 19th century included the period of enmity now referred to by historians as the [[Recess of the Julii]], which lead to the National Pact practicing political abstentionism in the Diet. | Rather than following the lead of some other foreign-influenced factions and Delegates, the members of the National Pact considered themselves loyal subjects of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], and that they abhorred revolution or disloyalty.

Initially tepidly supporting the Crown Regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], the Pact quickly embraced restoration of the normal order and supported [[King Patrick III]]'s efforts to that end.

The Pact won many of the by-elections upon the restoration in 1902 and was compelled by the King to form a national unity government with its first major rival, the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)]]. By the first full election after the restoration in 1905, the Pact found itself in a Daoni minority for the first time in decades. The National Democratic Party, which was more progressive on social reforms and had an economic policy in line with newly-formed Catholic teaching, went on to find major success until the [[Great War]], in which the Pact managed to regain power. Since the conclusion of the Great War, the National Pact has taken an increasingly neoliberal economic philosophy, a change that lead to the fracturing of the party as a minority broke off and formed the [[National Social Union (Urcea)|Liberal Party]] in 1960, which sought to pursue Urcea's "traditional [[Crown Liberalism]]". During much of the 20th century and early 21st century, the Pact and the National Democratic Party, which merged with the Liberal Party to form the [[National Social Union (Urcea)|National Social Union]] in 2019, were the largest two parties and often formed the Daoni majorities and elect the [[Procurator]]. The National Social Union ceased to exist as a consequence of the [[2035 Urcean political realignment]], leaving the Pact as the nation's largest party. As a part of the realignment, during the lengthy Procuratorship of [[James Fallshade]], the party began to take on an activist approach to foreign policy, with support for [[The Deluge]] part of the Pact's official platform. The Pact retains its proud identity as "Crown Liberal", although the meaning of the term has become greatly debated with the advent of its neoliberal laissez-faire approaches to economics. | ||
