Natopian reintegration

The process of Natopian reintegration is the process of the reconstitution of the Natopian Empire, which began with the succession of Empress Vadoma I to the throne of Eastern Natopia after the death of Nathan III in 1716 AN. Upon her accession to the throne of Eastern Natopia, Vadoma I assumed the title of Empress of the Natopians. Western Natopia and Eastern Natopia were created after the division of the Natopian Empire in 1709 AN, which was supported by democratic referenda held throughout Natopia in 1708 AN.

Background

The division of the Natopian Empire began in 1707 AN when the Natopia was divided into two co-equal viceroyalties that became the sovereign states of Western Natopia and Eastern Natopia. The process began when Emperor Nathan III proposed the division in order to better govern the east by himself. The demesnes east of the River Egale were organized into Eastern Natopia and the demesnes west of the river became Western Natopia. A national referendum in east and west approved the division in 1708 AN. The constitutional process that separated the empire into two states lasted into 1709 AN when both Western Natopia and Eastern Natopia's legislatures ratified the final agreements for the division.
