The ties between the [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Union for National Solidarity]] and [[Julian Party (Urcea)|Julian Party]] date to the 20th century, as its predecessor, the [[Commonwealth Union (Urcea)|Commonwealth Union]], had often aligned with the Julian Party to form coalition governments, especially during the 80s and 90s. As the National Democratic Party became increasingly [[Wittonian Socialism|Wittonian Socialist]], monarchist tendencies and [[Organicism|Organicist]] within the party grew to such an extent that the Julian Party was a natural partner in opposing the perceived {{wp|liberalism}} of the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]]. The ideological ties between the Union for National Solidarity became extremely prevalent during the [[2018 Urcean institutional referendum]], when UNS party leader [[Livio Iarnán]] became the most prominent defender of the monarchy and established close personal ties with leaders of the Julian Party, coming together to eventually form the informal [[2018_Urcean_institutional_referendum#Retainer_Party|Retainer Party]] with dissenting members of the [[Social Labor Party (Urcea)|Social Labor Party]] as well.

The previously established ties were vital after the [[2020 Urcean elections]] resulted in no party having a clear majority in the [[Concilium Daoni]], and leaders from both the Julian Party and UNS were able to form a comprehensive policy program agreement which made Iarnán [[Chancellor and Temporary President]]. At the head of a wartime government during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], both parties grew closer and its members became essentially indistinguishable in the Concilium Daoni, eventually abolishing separate party conferences and meeting together. These ties culminated in an official "non-compete" agreement in early 2022 which pledged both parties to not run candidates against each other in any district in the [[2025 Urcean elections]], with Julian Party candidates given preference in the [[Ionian Plateau]]. This non-compete agreement eventually resulted in a closer agreement, with both parties establishing the "Royal Solidarity Alliance" on 30 October 2022, which pledged both parties to remain in a coalition following the [[2025 Urcean elections]] no matter the result. This agreement was superseded in late December 2023, when both parties formally agreed to merge effective 1 January 2025. The merger would retain much of the UNS's national leadership, with [[Livio Iarnán]] remaining as party leader, but an even division of the party central committee and the Julian Party's local leaders and party infrastructure in the eastern provinces becoming the official party organs there. The party would come to encompass many members of minor parties such as the [[List_of_Urcean_political_parties#International_Trade_Party|International Trade Party]] as well as some of the [[National Pact (Urcea)|National Pact]]'s most hawkish members in the lead up to the [[2025 Urcean elections]].
