The '''National Pact''' is the second largest political party in the [[Urcea|Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], and the oldest. Though the party has been described as a large coalition by some, it is one of the strongest advocate for continuing the traditional [[Constitution of Urcea|constitutional balance]] in Urcea, which it played a large role in founding, and the party describes itself as [[Crown Liberalism|Crown Liberal]] and as the historical champion of the [[Concilium Daoni]]. Its economic policy is somewhat to the right of the traditional mainstream system and has, since the end of the 20th century, trended more towards a laissez faire position.

Initially tepidly supporting the Crown Regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], the Pact quickly embraced restoration of the normal order and supported [[Patrick III of Urcea|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)]]. However, controversies such as [[The Enabling]] divided the Pact as it lost the support of the [[Ionian Highlands]] and was embroiled in scandal. | Initially tepidly supporting the Crown Regency of [[Gréagóir FitzRex]], the Pact quickly embraced restoration of the normal order and supported [[Patrick III of Urcea|King Patrick III]]'s efforts to that end.

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 separate parties, 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 were the largest two parties and often formed the Daoni majorities and elect the [[Procurator]]. The National Democratic Party ceased to exist as a consequence of the [[2015 Urcean political realignment]], leaving the Pact as the nation's largest party.

The National Democratic Party ceased to exist as a consequence of the [[2015 Urcean political realignment]], leaving the Pact as the nation's largest party. As a part of the realignment, during the lengthy Procuratorship of [[James Dynan]], 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. | ||
