The Unity Party (Idrean: Partito Unità or simply Unità is a centre-right, conservative political party in Barcia which currently forms the country's government under party leader and Chancellor Massimiliano Perretti. The Unity party was formed in 1949 in the aftermath of the Second Great War as a union of various centre-right and conservative political parties and politicians with the aim of creating a united governing coalition capable of guiding the country out of decades of political chaos and division. Following its early successes in the 1950 election when the party formed a majority government, the party has since come to dominate Barcian politics, winning an outright majority in every election it has contested other than 1958, 1964, 1979, 1983 and 2003.

Though the party labels itself as conservative, the Unity Party is considerably flexible with its policies, particularly on economic matters. Political commentators have noted how the party over the years has shifted between more neoliberal and interventionist policies depending on the persuasion of the party's leader, a factor which has allowed the party to maintain its level of political dominance. Nevertheless, the party has come under criticism for its significant media influence over Barcia's national broadcast network which has led many to accuse the party of "anti-democratic practices".
