These entanglements were viewed as threats to the Constitution, "tipping the scales" in favor of the Monarch. In this respect, the party's position has been described as that of the "Constitution Abroad" - it is not, in principle, opposed to Urcea being involved on the world stage, but these involvements must necessarily empower local people friendly to Urcea rather than directly engage the [[Julian dynasty]] in foreign governments in any respect. Due to the widespread popularity of both the monarchy and dynasty, many Pact writers have concluded their involvement abroad as "an inevitability", and accordingly preserving Urcea's diplomatic aloofness is "at the heart of the [[Constitution of Urcea|constitution]]. During the [[Occidental Cold War]], the Pact became generally supportive of efforts to suppress [[Caphiria]] and support the [[Levantine Union]]. The Pact perceived Caphiria as a threat to the fundamentally Levantine way of life and inclusive [[Organicism#Shared_commonwealth|shared commonwealth values]], while viewing little possible threat to the constitutional order in doing so. | ||
Toward the end of the 20th century, some National Pact leaders and officials began to loosen their stance on committed foreign engagements, most notably including [[James Dynan]]. Dynan's leadership saw Urcea engage fully with [[The Deluge|the Deluge]]. These policies were popular with the general electorate but largely unpopular within the party's traditional ideological base, though they were supported by a small minority of hawks within the party. Many Pact members observed that the traditional fears regarding the "Constitution Abroad" under the Dynan administration were realized as King [[Riordan VIII]] became geopolitically important as an individual actor in [[Crona]] following the Deluge. With the formation of the [[Solidarity Party (Urcea)|Solidarity Party]] and loss of the party's foreign policy hawks to that party, as well as the costs and constitutional concerns raised by the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many journalists have observed that the National Pact is shifting back to its traditionally suspicious foreign policy. | |||
