The National Falange (Esperanto: Nacia Falanĝo) was a falangist political party in Skarlatia. It came to power after a military coup in 1926. Between 1926 and 1944 it was the sole legal party in Skarlatia. Opposition parties were allowed to participate in the 1944 elections, but opposition parties were prohibited from campaigning.
During the Second World War, Skarlatia was part of the Axis powers. It left the Axis powers in 1944. After the Second World War the party began to change and shifted from falangism to conservatism and atlanticism. After the 1948 elections, the party changed its name to General Falange. In the 1950s the party introduced democratic reforms in Skarlatia.
