The Nationals (Marcian: I Nazionali, abbrev. N) is a Nationalist political party in greater Marci which serves as the sole ruling party in the country. Founded in 1923, their leader Is Lorenzo Valentina, Who also serves as the Chancellor of the country, While the honorary president is the Marcimperator, the monarch of the country. The National Chairman is Massimo Perlo. While The Party doesn't embrace any political ideology other than Marcian nationalism, It has political factions From the parties that merged to make it, which range from centrist factions like liberalism to Far-right factions like reactionarism. Other main factions Include conservatism, Fascism, and Christian Right, and populism (typically right wing populism).

The Party was founded as a merger of the conservative Lista party, The Liberali di Centro, The monarchist Marcimperialisti, the Falangist Paramilitary Giunte delle offensiva syndicalista nazionale, and the Blocco Fascista. Previously, these 5 parties made up the Nationalist electioral Coalition Insieme per un Marci Maggiore (together for a greater Marci; IPMM), Which won an unexpected victory in the 1919 election using a number of individual campaign tactics, breaking an uninterrupted period of social democratic rule that dated back to the Founding of Marci.

Due to the fact that there was so much division in the coalition, many thought that IPMM wouldn't be very productive, they declined in the polls, which threatened a potential victory in the upcoming election. Because of this, they called on Poet, Nationalist Commentator, and former independent Councilman Gabrielle d'Annunzio to restore it to its former glory. What he did was he created a new party he called The Nationals with him as leader and candidate for chancellor in the next election. He proposed a 15-point plan that he would have completed by the next election, a promise he managed to have fufilled against all odds.

After three straignt election victories, In 1924, 1929, and 1934, d'Annunzio, since elected chancellor of Marci, proposed a bill of law that would effectively keep opposition parties from ever entering the National Council or even gaining political office by only allowing one party, the nationals, to appear on ballot. The social democrats appealed to the national magistry, stating that such a bill of law would be unconstitutional, and therefore would require a bill of amendment to pass (with a 2/3 majority in council and the approval of the marcimperator and the chancellor) instead of a bill of law (with a half majority in the council and the approval of either the marcimperator or the chancellor). Against all odds, when the opposition parties appealed, they won. The nationals amended the bill to allow the ballots to present an option to vote against the Nationals, and if over fifty percent of voters did so, the amendment would be repealed. they still needed the 2/3 majority to pass it though.

both the nationals and opposition parties campaigned vigorously that year. The Nationals said that they had been working to make Marci great, and they had been successful so far, but the opposition parties were only holding the country back from progress and modernization. The social democrats and other opposition parties stated that Marci could never be great without freedom and democracy, and that if democracy was eliminated, the nationals would use the opportunity to establish a tyrannical dictatorship and increase their own wealth at the expense of the people of Marci. during this time, many minor parties thought to be aligned ideologically with the nationals merged in, and other parties formed an opposition coalition to try and save democracy.

In the end, the nationals manage to secure the 2/3 majority and passed the amendment, and since the 1944 election, they would become the only party to ever hold political office, thus beginning the era of the national regime that still continues today. The nationals have never gone to international law because There is no evidence of human rights abuses in Greater Marci. One Marcian Emigrant living in Krazonia described National rule as "comfortable and extremely patriotic." Although there have been many accusations of election fraud against the nationals, none of them have gone to court.
