The UPR is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Floria. The UPR is the largest party in Floria and has dominated Florian politics since its formation. The UPR formed in 1656 through a merger of the Conservative Party and those members of the Florian Independence Party who had not fled to the free state or joined the Nationalist & Humanist Party. The party was briefly known as the UIP but changed name to the its present name in 1705 AN.
Despite not officially being aligned with the Nationalist and Humanist movement, many of its ideologies have influenced the party. The party’s ideology is considered right wing with many Conservative values.
The party currently supports lower taxes, gun rights, restrictions on abortion, restrictions on labor unions, restrictions on some LGBT+ rights and increased military spending. It has taken widely variant positions on abortion, immigration, trade and foreign policy in its history.
As of 1724, the UPR holds a majority in the Florian Congress.Its most recent presidential nominee was Isabelle Chopin, who was the 6th Florian president from 1719 to 1724. There have been 5 United Republican presidents, the most from any one political party. The Republican Party has won 5 presidential elections, four more than its main political rival, the Social Democratic Party of Floria.

Allegations of crime and corruption
The UPR has been widely criticised for being a party full of corrupt idiots due to winning a supermajority in the 2018 general election. Adam Cooke has rejected the criticism saying that it was a general problem that was not restricted to one particular party but to all Florian parties. A poll made days after the election showed that only 5% of Florian citizens agreed with this criticism.
