Imperial Assent 2.12.1709 AN
Commencement 2.12.1709 AN


Imperial Decree 002, or 002. Proclamation of Dos Gardenias, is the second documented use of the statutory instruments of the Bovic Empire of the West after the division of the Natopian Empire was formalized on 13.10.1709 AN. The division of the Natopian Empire was formalized by the Declaration of Lindstrom, later confirmed by the Micras Cartography Society[1] and the Micras Treaty Organization[2] in 1709 AN.

Imperial Decree 002 was issued by the Empress of Western Natopia, Vadoma I. The decree is countersigned by a myriad of government officials, nobles, and other diplomatic or political officials, including the Emperor of Eastern Natopia, Nathan III. It was issued from Government House, the current seat of the Transitional Government of Western Natopia.

This Imperial Decree serves as the foundational document for the nascent, independent Bovic Empire of the West, establishes the Provisional Government of Western Natopia, establishes key transitional government policies and bodies, and calls for a Constitutional Convention of Western Natopia to draft a new Constitution for the Bovic Empire of the West.

Background

Countersignature

ID-002 was countersigned by a long list of public officials. As the second official Act of the Empress, it was seen as important and prestigious to be part of the signing of the Proclamation of Dos Gardenias.
