Proclamation of Weisenburg

The Proclamation of Weisenburg is the founding document of the United Principalities of Cibola. It was signed in 1725 AN by representatives of 5 political entities in Southeastern Cibola, and laid the groundwork for the unification of these entities into a single state. It is not to be confused with the Weisenburger Constitution, which serves as the actual constitution for the nation.
