The National Conservative Party, also referred to as the NCP or simply as the Conservatives, is one of the major political parties in the Federation. The NCP is the result of dozens of right-wing political parties banding together in a massive coalition, championed by Douglas Granite and David M. Sutton, in order to develop a standardized platform and system of beliefs. Due to this, members of the party span the political spectrum, sitting anywhere from center to far-right.
The NCP is the largest political coalition ever formed in the Federation, and has far-reaching control over the nation's government. Prior to 1934, right-wing political parties in the Federation held only 40% of Senate seats, and just shy of half the House seats. These parties, although all right-leaning, were often at odds with one another, making the early 1930s a difficult time for progress in Congress. Following the creation of the NCP, and 1934 national elections, this changed drastically. Rallied by the bold promises and charismatics of Douglas Granite, the NCP won massively in 1934, now maintaining 35 of the 50 Senate seats (70%) and 279 of the 552 House seats (68%). Due to this massive majority, the Granite administration has been able to pass legislation with little issue, though it has proven a concern for many opposing political factions in the country.
