Typically, the political leadership of the Urcean Government can take four distinct forms. In the first, following an election, the Procurator and the Chancellor are the same individual or from the same party; same party candidacies are uncommon but not unheard of if a party's Concilium Daoni leader does not have widespread popular appeal and electability. In this scenario, this party are in total control of the government and the Chancellor-Procurator controls the appointment of the members of the [[Concilium Purpaidá]] and the policies that the Purpaidá follows, leading to the party's policy program and budget being implemented. The second scenario involves a Procurator and Chancellor of different parties who form what's called a "Purpaidá Coalition", whereby a minority of members of the Purpaidá are appointees of the Procurator's party in exchange for a mutually agreed upon policy program being established by the Procurator; in this scenario, the Chancellor is usually the more powerful of the coalition partners. The third scenario requires a hung Daoni, whereby the Procurator guides his party to form a coalition with another party to elect a Chancellor of the other party. This scenario is called a "Daoni Coalition", and the appointed membership of the Purpaidá is typically an even split. In this scenario, the Procurator is typically the more powerful of the coalition partners. The final scenario involves a Chancellor and Procurator of different parties who cannot come to an agreement. In this scenario, the Procurator's program is often in conflict with members of the Purpaidá, requiring constant intervention of the King over Treasury Orders, and many times in this scenario King's Budgets are implemented. This final scenario is often called "Royal Rule", because the King, in his role as arbitrator, is most accurately said to be the one governing the Kingdom. | Typically, the political leadership of the Urcean Government can take four distinct forms.

During the 20th century, political power switched between the two largest parties - the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]], the dominant party of the 19th century, and the [[National Commonwealth Party (Urcea)]], formed in the midst of the [[Red Interregnum]]. This bi-partisan divide continued until the [[2015 Urcean political realignment]]. Despite the predominance of the two major parties, other smaller parties such as the [[Julian Party (Urcea)|Julian Party]] and the [[Democratic Labor Party (Urcea)|Democratic Labor Party]] did hold office throughout the country in the era. In the 21st Century, the National Democratic Party held a majority in the Daoni every session except for 2006-11, when the National Pact under the leadership of [[Michael Redder]] took a slim majority in the legislature. By contrast, the National Pact has held the Procuratorship for the whole of the 21st Century except from 2016-2025. After the dissolution of the National Democratic Party in 2015, the Democratic Labor Party became the second largest party in the [[Concilium Daoni]] with the National Pact surging to a majority in the [[2015 Urcean elections]]. The Democratic Labor Party later reorganized the left into the united [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] in the wake of the [[2015 Urcean political realignment]] and the Casanam Conference. Soon after, the [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Union for National Solidarity]] reformed out of the [[Wittonian Socialism|Wittonian-Reedian]] faction of the old National Democratic Party. In 2025, the Union for National Solidarity and Julian Party merged to form the [[Solidarity Party (Urcea)|Solidarity Party]], which became the largest party in [[Urcea]] upon its formation. | During the 20th century, political power switched between the two largest parties - the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]], the dominant party of the 19th century, and the [[National Commonwealth Party (Urcea)|National Commonwealth Party]], formed in the midst of the [[Red Interregnum]].
