History
The party has been founded by Carl Daniels, a political figure who was responsible for the formation of the National Independents Organization (NIO). The National Independent Party was formed when the Commonwealth of Rutania was facing a political instability when the New Front Alliance (a former Rutanian party) declared war against the Rutanians. Political parties of Rutania, including the NIP, have passed a bill for the complete halt of the potential war that was about to take place which would have been catastrophic. Fortunately, the Rutanian parties were able to negotiate with the opponent's majority party to safely stop the war with minor casualties from both sides.

Formation of the Party
The National Independent Party was formed in February of 3121 and became official in 3147. NIP was introduced to the parliament by a majority vote from the electorates. Since the introduction of the new parties, the Rutanians felt there should be a sort of parliamentary etiquette that would preside over the debate and other parliamentary procedures. Hence, the NIP centralized the party's platform towards maintaining the political cohesiveness and rationality.

Present
Currently, the NIP holds a honorable position of leadership to Robert W. Rockefeller, which means that he will lead the party until his retirement or when the people demand for his removal. The party is also affiliated with its own party organization, IDU (International Democrat Union). The NIP emphasizes political realism and cohesiveness. The party maintains the rationality of their political behaviors by centralizing the party's core principles on the basis of protecting the essential rights of Rutanians. Since the party's ideology is set by the majority faction within the party, the current ideological stance of the NIP is positioned in center-right of the political spectrum.
