The Constitution Abroadite faction is the portion of Crown Liberals within the National Pact who are skeptical of Urcea's involvement in [[Crona]] specifically while also generally retaining some of the anti-foreign entanglement views of the traditional National Pact. This faction believes Urcean interference in Crona has generally been to the benefit of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]], who has accreted significant independent powers in [[NSTA]] and [[New Harren]] apart from the [[Government of Urcea]]. They argue that these independent powers are a threat to the [[Constitution of Urcea]], as it empowers the King to act politically and geopolitically apart from the constitutional government which restrains him. Accordingly, the Abroadites are not isolationist in the traditional sense, but view Crona specifically as an existential threat to the Urcean system, and consequently oppose what they call the "Cronanization" of Urcean political life. Generally speaking, the Abroadites are careful to draw a distinction between the negative effects of Cronan intervention and the monarchy itself; they portray themselves, rather, as the defenders of the "traditional monarchy" and the "traditional place of the King" and are careful not to directly attack [[Riordan VIII]], but instead present an accumulation of power as a natural and to some extent understandable impulse. Accordingly, the Abroadites focus on the draw of Crona, rather than the behavior of the Crown, as the direct problem with Cronan intervention. | The Constitution Abroadite faction is the portion of Crown Liberals within the National Pact who are skeptical of Urcea's involvement in [[Crona]] specifically while also generally retaining some of the anti-foreign entanglement views of the traditional National Pact.

The Abroadites comprised a majority of the Pact's elected leaders during the period between the [[2020 Urcean elections]] and the [[2035 Urcean elections]]. In particular, the leadership of [[List_of_Urcean_officials#Salderio%2C_Conner_Scipio|Conner Scipio Salderio]] (2026-34), leader of the Abroadites faction, is identified as their peak. They remain a large faction within the party but have lost their definitive hold on party institutions, which are now evenly split. | |||
