Unite Party (Monsilvan: 团结党; pinyin: Tuánjiédǎng), is a socialist political party in the Monsilvan Republic. The party has the main intention of ending Monsilva's federal system and returning it to a unitary system where the all of Monsilva's states are administered by the central government only rather than having additional state governments. The party was founded by Hao Shi in May 1986, only three years after the establishment of the federal system in Monsilva in 1983. Initially the party saw a large amount of support, but in the 1988 federal election, the first the party ran candidates for, they did not manage to win any seats.

During the next 12 years after that election the party's popularity gradually declined as people became more comfortable with the federal system. However, another boost in the popularity of the party happened in 2000 after the Kong Tsai scandal. Although this still did not give the party enough support to win any seats in the election later that year. Since then, the party have focused more on gaining seats, ironically, in the state parliaments, which it originally had refused to take part in as it went against their policies. In 2022, the party won its first seat in any legislature, in the Maguan State Parliament.

In 2024, after the admission of Shaoyu to the Monsilvan Republic, the Unite Party chose not to run any candidates in the state. It also did not add Shaoyu to its plans for a unitary system. Whether this means the party is indifferent to Shaoyu's position as a state or believes Shaoyu should be independent from Monsilva has not been explicitly announced by the party as of February 2024.
