The Partito Unitario Nazionalista (PUN; English: Unitary Nationalist Party) is the ruling political party of the Second Fortunan Empire, created in the early 1980s as an expression of Fortunan Unitary Nationalism. After successfully reuniting the Fortunan Archipelago in 1999, the party has continued to rule Fortuna under Tristano Lyone to present day.
Prior to the Unitary Nationalist Party, the first political party with a similar ideology was the Fortuna Reunited Party, first being established in 1936. Following the party's dissolution in the 1960s, former members and supporters reorganized following the end of the Toscanan-Emilian War and the creation of the Fortunan Confederation to establish the Unitary Nationalist Party on August 6, 1980. The party was created to promote the idea of a more centralized government which would mean the required dissolution of the confederation. The party was able to gain traction in the 1990s, especially as prominent party members such as Tristano Lyone and Bernard Leon gained immense popularity. By the 1996 elections, the UNP had control over all three state governments, leading to the dissolution of the Fortunan Confederation and creation of the Second Fortunan Empire on March 11, 1999. Tristano Lyone would further secure his position as sole leader of the newly united nation during an event known as "Lyone's Purge" where certain party members were arrested or executed. In present day, the UNP members enjoy their position as leaders of a single-party, authoritative dictatorship, however dissent is noticeable as members fight over the direction the nation should take.
