History and early development during the Republic (2011 - 2018)

After the establishment of Urielandia as a presidential republic on December 27, 2010, the Congress was inaugurated by the then-president of the Republic Uriel Bermudez, who became its first President during the first legislature (I Legislature) of the Congress until his resignation in 2013 being succeeded by the former vicepresident Gabriela Prieto. In 2012 the parliamentary elections took place, being the former Urielandish Democratic Party the leader of the majority in Senate and HR, and the Urielandish Convergent Party.

On May 18, the Constituent National Assembly approved the new constitution for the Empire and two brand new political parties were established: the Conservative Party of Urielandia and the Progressive Party of Urielandia, followed many weeks later by the Party of the Empire and the far-right nationalist movement Urielandia First.
