The Synarchist Union (SU; Carlosian: Unión Sinarquista) is a synarchist, neo-fascist political party in Carloso. It was formed on 14 August 1974 as a successor organisation to the defunct Synarchist Front, a minor organisation that existed from 1939 to 1947, falling apart after the outbreak of the Emergency War with the idealogically similiar Synarchist Bourgougia. The Synarchist Union's first Secretary-General was Sebastián Nores, a retired Army general. While initially failing to achieve electoral success, in 1980 it entered the National Assembly with two NAs, including Nores. Political violence against the party instigated by far-left and anarchist groups led to the murder and kidnapping of several party members, raising its profile considerably and allowing it to make further gains in 1985. After an explosion of anti-communist sentiment in Carloso after the Bourgougian Blitz, the Synarchist Union increased its number of seats considerably and began to consolidate its position as an anti-establishment opposition party. Nores unexpectedly died of a heart attack in 1998.

It achieved its best performance in the 2005 election when the party won 79 seats in the National Assembly. During the Corrective Revolution and run-up to the 2010 general election, the Synarchist Union had been predicted by political analysts and opinion polls to make huge gains at the expense of the increasingly unpopular Conservative Party, however the formation of National Salvation by Cárlos Tobón and other former Conservative NAs quickly sank these prospects, with the Synarchists recieving their worst election result since 1985. Despite subsequent losses in 2015, the Synarchist Union remains a mainstay of Carlosian politics. Its headquarters are located in Madrigal and, as of 2020, its Secretary-General is Damián Torrero.

Individuals and organisations opposed to the Synarchist Union have referred to it as a 'racist' and 'Nazi' party. It has been the target of extensive criminal activity by self-styled 'anti-racist' and 'anti-fascist' organisations, including the assault and murder of party members, stalking and theft. To date, all Secretary-Generals of the Synarchist Union have been the target of assassination plots, with Damián Torrero narrowly surviving an attempt on his life in 2014 by a far-left gunman. In 2017 Carlosian authorities uncovered a plot by the terrorist organisation Red Commando involving a plan to bomb the National Convention of the Synarchist Union in Mostolt that year. The party describes itself as a 'post-fascist' organisation, committed to maintaining Carlosian democracy and the constitutional republic, while implementing a system of social co-operation (i.e synarchy) between the various social classes and economic groups within society for the betterment of the nation. It firmly opposes secularism and desires the transformation of Carloso into a 'republic guided by national Catholicism'. Officially, the Synarchist Union is also in favour of pan-Musgorocianism, though this lofty natured concept has not featured prominently in party communications for many years.
