The Imperial Proclamation of Unity, also known as the Second Declaration of Lindstrom, is the imperial pronouncement and uniting document that brought an end to the Natopian division and reunited Natopia under Empress Vadoma I. Adopted in 1717 AN, it was drafted by the Imperial Council of Natopia in 1716 AN and submitted to the legislatures of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia for approval. It was during the legislative process in both that provisions to approve the reunion of Natopia and transitional provisions for its governance were added to the Proclamation, with both drafts reconciled over four days by a special legislative committee including demesnial leaders and legislators from Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia.

The Proclamation was adopted by both legislatures on the same day, XX.XXXX.1717 AN, and was signed into law by Empress Vadoma I on XX.XXX.1717 AN. It set forth the framework for the reintegration of the two halves of Natopia, outlining the structure of the new government, the rights and responsibilities of citizens, and the process for the transfer of power and assets.

The Proclamation dissolved the separate governments of Eastern Natopia and Western Natopia, and established a single, unified provisional government under the authority of Empress Vadoma I and the Imperial Council of Natopia. The Imperial Council, comprising the Chancellor of Natopia, the Court of Vista de Nada, the Imperial Chancellery, and the heads of the demesnes, was given the power to govern the empire, with the Empress and Chancellor serving as the chief executive officers of the transitional government. The Frenzy of Natopia was reconvened as a unicameral legislature of the empire, with members from both Eastern and Western Natopia.

To ensure a smooth transition, the Proclamation established a Transition Governance Committee under the Imperial Council, comprising representatives from the former governments of Eastern and Western Natopia, as well as demesnial leaders and other stakeholders. The Council was tasked with overseeing the transfer of power and assets, as well as addressing any outstanding issues related to the reunion. The Proclamation also established a program of financial assistance for demesnes and citizens affected by the reunion, with funds allocated to support economic development, social services, and infrastructure projects.

The Proclamation also reaffirmed the rights and liberties of Natopian citizens, including the right to free speech, freedom of religion, and the right to a fair trial. It also established a framework for the protection of minority rights, recognizing the diverse cultural and linguistic heritage of Natopia.

In the years following the adoption of the Proclamation, the Transition Governance Council and the Frenzy of Natopia worked diligently to implement its provisions while they also worked together to draft a new Constitution and a new Caprine Code. The transfer of power and assets was completed without incident, and the new united government would be fully operational by 1719 AN AN. The economy of Natopia began to recover quickly and social services were improved.
